RE: The Game Shogi

in #shogi6 years ago

I love chess, and I have a strong urge to try Shogi game too. Its a great tutorial which explains the difference between the two. Though for us, the characters look very similar, so is there any way I can get the English letters on the coins?

There's a printable versio of this here http://genedavis.com/articles/2014/05/09/pdf-of-western-style-shogi-board-and-pieces/shogi_pieces_west.gif
Might be way easier to start with,more chess like.

That's what I was looking for, so you can just print them and play one paper see if you like it before buying a full on board and pieces. I like that this has the roman character on the piece as well.
They have the moves that it can make also, now that is cool I would forget, that will make it so much easier to learn to play.
I love chess, so this will be fun, I'm still a little confused on the three lines and placing a pawn that cannot move but I will figure it out.

3 lines as in the opponents 3 rows(their territory, so to speak), the pawn thing just means don't put it in the last row, since it won't be able to move or promote.

Ok, that would make sense, LOL, if you did that wouldn't you lose.

You'd lose because you'd brake a rule, yeah
