Game Reviews by SeanHumby
Question: I make the assumption that the cavalry cannot leap intervening pieces as Xiangqi horses cannot either. The archers and crossbows can move exactly 4 or 5 moves in any direction... but is that a jump? It seems like it should be... HELP!
I must say, this is by far one of the best shogi variants conceived in recent years. The game's flow is beautiful, the pieces balanced, and the concept original. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes shogi or just fun games in general. I have to comment that the game is not as short as the author would describe. Games seemed to last about 60 moves or so (about the length of a short Shogi game). The chase for mate at the end was more exciting than even normal shogi as the pieces need to be in better harmony as they are generally not as strong. If you haven't tried this, do it! Brilliant game!
Hey, Bob!!! can you provide a link for your printer tested pieces???? that'd make my day! I'd just like to say... I cant wait to play this game once it's more canonized! Anyone who doesn't like large board shogi variants is afraid of commitment! ;)
