Large uncheckered boards are very annoying when you have diagonal sliders.

The goal of this implementation is to make it easy for the user to play. The game is hard enough as it is. It is not intended to be a museum display that shows how things were in the Edo period. That is one of the reasons I also kept in the checking rule. I see no point in seducing people to stupidly blunder away their King, only to use the take-back function for resuming the game with a sensible move.

As to the elongated cells: I suppose this was just laziness. I am not sure whether Jocly even has a board view with elongated cells (since it did not implement Shogi), and if it would, it would probably be uncheckered. And I did not feel like designing new board views; it was more interesting to support new game rules (such as multiple royalty, locust capture, piece drops).
