Having implemented this variant in Ai Ai and having played it a bunch of times, I really enjoy this game. Being a large Shogi fanatic, the higher piece density of Yangsi doesn't bother me in the slightest :)
For me this game is an improvement on something like Sac Chess, as the pieces in Yangsi are more interesting to use. In fact I was inspired by this game to make what I called 'Heavy Shako', an extension of Shako that fills in all the gaps in the back rank with other pieces used in the larger variants by Jean-Louis Cazaux. The original concept was much improved by some excellent advice from Jean-Louis, and the resulting game has been a lot of fun.
I'd enjoy seeing an extension of Yangsi to 12x12 with a high-density setup, too.
I think Heavy Shako would deserve a page of its own.

The 12x12 Yangsi idea could be interesting, but I think Gross Chess kind of already has that covered.
Also, what is Ai Ai? I've never heard of it before.
See the Ai Ai tag at the bottom of the page.
It is weird that this page about Yangsi is proposing two links about Hectochess.
Probably a copy-paste that escaped a final check. Please, authors, have a look.

Should be fixed now.

I changed some H2 tags to H3 tags, and I moved one section from Rules to Notes. The script for displaying member-submitted content normally adds the appropriate H1 and H2 tags, and tags entered by the author should begin with H3.
