Nice! At first I thought the positions of the Rooks would have them dominating the game in fighting each other, but a couple of rounds with the ID showed me that that's just not the case. It makes for an interesting game.

Trivial side note: In Shogi, the Q3 is known as the Lion Dog, the B2 is the Flying Dragon, and the R2 is the Violent Ox. Call them what you will for this (and I wouldn't change it, personally), but I think that's worth noting in the text (in the Notes section, if not elsewhere).
