If anyone wants the rules to Chu Shogi and does not have them R. Wayne
Schmittberger (spelled correctly) has the rules on page 207 of his book,
New Rules to Classic Games.  This is an excellent book!  I became
interested in Shogi after reading this book.

BTW, does anyone have R. Wayne Schmittberger's E-Mail address?  Thank you
in advance.
