Do not be too disheartened at this rating, as it applies equally to my Hasty analysis of this game when I last looked at it. It also serves to cancel out my previous rating. While it makes sense to promote Elephants, your Gold and Silver Generals are overcomplicated. Why have such a divergence in scale between capturing and non-capturing moves, and why retain the Shogi names for pieces so different in their non-capturing move? Perhaps they could be Gold and Silver something else - Elks, for example, as the race to which Elks belong is Alces Alces Alces (Moose are Alces Alces Americanus, another race of the same species).
