Strange that there is no regular page for Chu Shogi on this website. Only link pages (which do not allow commenting) and presets for playing. This is why my post ends up here. I have developed a highly mnemonic piece set for playing large Shogi variants. Although it is primarily intended for Tai (25x25) and Taikyoku (36x36), it also makes Chu Shogi look quite sympathetic:

I have made a version of the WinBoard Alien Edition that uses this piece set, and implements variants chu, dai, dada, maka, tai and tenjiku using them. I am also writing an engine to act as AI for these games, but the current version (HaChu 0.0) only does Chu and Dai, and quite weakly at that. A zip file that bundles WinBoard Alien and HaChu 0.0 can be downloaded from http://hgm.nubati.net/WinBoard-Chu.zip .
