If you would view my entire forelast message, you will also see at the bottom the links to some other engines, amongst which TJshogi and TJxiangqi. :-)

GNU Shogi will not directly run under WinBoard. (It is not truly WB
compatible, although the Chess engine from which it was derived was.) I
did succeed in running GNU Shogi under WinBoard with the aid of a general adaptor program that was configured for interchanging the command 'black' and 'white'. The complete setup for this is still on my website as

http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/DemoPack.zip

This contains a quite old WinBoard version, though. I am also not sure if
you can automatically play TJshogi gainst GNU Shogi, as I am not sure if
they both use the way to indicate square coordinates. TJshogi might use a1
where GNU Shogi uses 9a. Now WinBoard has a command-line option to tell it
which coordinates to use, but currently will use the same coordinates for
both engines. This is another thing on my to-do list, to make this
separately configurable for each engine.

The DemoPack also contains the executable of HoiXiangqi (the website of
which seems to have diappeared).

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote

Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

Secondary Header: <H2>

  • Unordered list item
  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>

  2. A second ordered list item with the same number.
  3. A third ordered list item.
Here is some preformatted text.
  This line begins with some indentation.
    This begins with even more indentation.
And this line has no indentation.
