Are you asking me? I'm really interested in shogi and other chess variants, but playing taikyoku shogi in practice seems too exotical for me... All the more, i am not well chess player, so playing with me will only waste your your time, you need more experienced opponent (unless you are not well chess player to).
Daniil Frolov: You seem to have taken an avid interest in shogi and its variants. I have created (through lots of time, determination, and finger ache) a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet of this shogi variant, complete with comments on the pieces denoting how they move and what they promote to. If you have the program (or a google documents account) I would like to play a game of this with you. We can email the board back and forth to each other. Would you like to play? Best, Nick
During some down time, I was browsing different variants and came across this beast on our pages. The stats: - 36x36 board (1,296 spaces) - 402 pieces per side - 209 different types - 253 different moves - Each player averages over 1000 moves/game So far, this is the largest discovered/invented shogi variant. I want to look over the rules a bit more, but I will be interested in play a game with somebody if there is anyone out there interested. Creating a preset would be very time consuming and too big on the screen for comprehension, so I am thinking an email game might be best. I would like to play according to the rule set found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taikyoku_shogi as they seem to be the most complete set that I can find. If anyone wishes to join me on this daunting task, I would be most appreciative and welcoming. If we average a move per day, this will take a couple of years! Shoot me an email at [email protected] or reply to this, but please finish the game with me if you plan on playing.
