I got the new (v1.3) Shogi variants program by Steve Evans. I see that
there is an alternative move for the Teaching King. In the source text
it is said to move like a Lion Dog and a Free King combined. According
to "Shogi variants" this can be interpreted in two ways.
1. It moves like a Free King.
2. It moves like a Free King and a tripple jumping Lion.

(I think that the second one would be very interesting to try.)
Is there anyone who knows more on this issue?


P.S. Are there more people on this list who plays the larger Shogi
variants (like Chu and up)?. (I do!) D.S.
