Great Whale ShogiA Zillions-of-Games file
. Large board based on Whale and Wa Shogi.

Author: Douglas Silfen. Inventor: R. Wayne Schmittberger.

Notes

Around the same time [1981] as I designed Whale Shogi, I also created a really complicated 11x11 'Great Whale Shogi', inspired by Wa Shogi. Each of the 28 pieces per side is different and has a different promotion; and even the pawns are unique calves that promote to the type of whale found in their file.'-RWS.
