Chu Shogi is played with 46 pieces of 21 different types on= a 12x12 board. It has been developed in the 14th century, and at the beginning of the 20th century it was one of the common shogi variants in Japan. In today's Japan, it is hardly known even among Shogi players. Compared with modern Shogi (9x9 board), Chu Shogi has more types of pieces.= There is no option to captured pieces to return to the board. Therefore Chu= Shogi has an entirely different game rhythm. We have now launched a brand-new website. You are invited to have a look at http://www.chushogi.de/ You will mainly find: - many commented Chu Shogi (E, JP, GER) to replay online (!) - regularly updated information about our events GCSA's task is to play the game and keep the memory alive. This applies to other large shogi variants as well. We put our main focus on organising tournaments, publishing all games we can get, add comments to teach Chu Shogi and help beginners to increase in strength.=20 founder members are (in alphabetical order): Peter Hingley - japanese, translations=20 Michael Hofmann - translations=20 Marc Marian - webmaster, contact Nihon Chu Shogi Renmei, japanese Guenther Mensching - tournament organisation, game comments with best regards Guenther, Marc, Michael, Peter Mail [AT] chushogi [DOT] DE Your free subscription is supported by today's sponsor: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Shopping for a new car?=20 Pay 2-3% below invoice on a new car of your choice.=20 Save thousands with our free car discount finder service! http://click.topica.com/= caaexd6a2i6YsbnuqMaf/Dealix ------------------------------------------------------------------- --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: = shogi-l shogi net EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a2i6Ys.= bnuqMa.= c2hvZ2kt Or send an email to: shogi-unsubscribe topica com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=3DTEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
