I would like to have, in the helpfiles of my PBeM Server
<pbmserv <at> demo <dot> bsdi <dot> com>, the Japanese piece names along with the
already-present English names. Someone told me these for the standard Shogi:
    Bishop              kakugyo
    Gold General        kinsho
    Dragon Horse        ryume
    Dragon King         ryuo
    King                osho
    Lance               kyosha
    +Lance              narikyo
    Knight              keima
    +Knight             narikei
    Pawn                fuhyo
    +Pawn               tokin
    Rook                hisha
    Silver General      ginsho
    +Silver General     narigin

Currently I have Shogi itself, Mini Shogi (no new pieces), Chu Shogi, Dai
Shogi, Tori Shogi, and Yari Shogi.

In Yari Shogi there are: Yari Rook, Full Rook, Yari Knight, Yari Gold (+N),
Yari Bishop, Yari Gold (again; this is +B), Yari Pawn, Yari Silver, King
(or is that General? does anyone know?).

In Tori Shogi there are: Crane, Falcon, Eagle, Phoenix, Pheasant, Left
Quail, Right Quail, Swallow, Goose.

In Chu Shogi there are Shogi pieces except Knight, and also Blind Tiger,
Flying Stag, Copper General, Drunk Elephant, Crown Prince, Horned Falcon,
Soaring Eagle, Free King, Ferocious Leopard, Go-Between, Kylin, White
Horse, Lion, Phoenix (is this different from the one in Tori?), Reverse
Chariot, Whale, Side Mover, Free Boar, Vertical Mover, Flying Ox.

In Dai Shogi there are Chu Shogi pieces and Knight (from Shogi), Angry
Boar, Cat Sword, Evil Wolf, Flying Dragon, Iron General, Stone General,
Violent Ox, as well as +AB, +CS, +EW, +FD, +IG, +St, +N (all move as Gold
General).

I would like to have the above Shogi pieces translation re-checked, as well
as a Japanese translation (in English letters) of the new Yari, Tori, Chu,
and Dai Shogi pieces.

Thank you!
