Yes, it is possible to play koma ochi games. You have to set it to free
move before you start (so you can manipulate the pieces), and then after
the opponent accepts the challenge, go into free move, take out the koma
box, then click the piece you want taken off, then click into the box (it
should place it there), then start the game. Not many players know about
this, and because it takes so many steps, it is somewhat troublesome to
do so.

Oh, so that is what that Koma box is for! I was wondering about that! I couldn't find any mention of it in the help file! Thanks! At least that answers my question! Especially useful if I
end up playing a stronger player (that is, almost everyone else on the Java Shogi!)...
