Apparently GBR is a private TV station in Italy. I had never heard of
it, but then I don't have a TV. Anyway, it was at C St A last night, and
it came along to film Shogi for a few seconds. I can't imagine this will
result in anything, but you never know.
 
Wari seems much more popular with the punters, probably because the
pieces are less scary at first sight. After weeks of my constant
presence, some of the chess players are beginning to seem at least
curious. The biggest help is that the chap who plays one game of
Shogi each evening with me before going to play with the chess people
turns out to know quite a lot of the others, and he has started
prodding them into trying Shogi (and XiangQi and Wari) with some
level of success.
 
Sadly, they ask me questions which I really can't answer since I am
not a strong enough player. When possible, I say "Well, I read in
SHOGI/SFB/BMFBS that ...". Ah well. Back again this evening...
 
Does anyone know what happens in Wari if it is my go, and the only
move I have would capture all of the opponent's pieces?
