... Just to let you know that I have (finally!) released my updated Chu Shogi Zillions of Games ZRF file. Please note: * You need the full version of Zillions...
Hi all Let me first introduce myself: I'm an evolutionary biologist also interested in the history and evolution of chess variants (seeing variants as...
Thanks to all who replied off-board! I now have copies of the pages from "Sekai no Shogi" that describe this very odd variant. Although I can't read Japanese,...
Hello, Will you be posting the rules & pieces moves for this game? I've not found a lot of information about Ko Shogi at all. Is it the same game as "Ko-dai...
It's definitely not the same as Roland's Ko-Dai Shogi. I've never been able to find any historical backing that this variant actually existed; has anyone? This...
Hello folks, Does anyone know what the names of the pieces are in "Ko-dai Shogi" found in Roland Marounek's shogi program, Shogis? Is there any information on...
Cool, thank you. =) Any tidbits about the game you wish to entice us with? Is the game played on the spaces, like Shogi, or the intersections and lines like ...
OK, fair enough! Lynn is working hard on the transcriptions and first translations, and he told me he'd be very happy for people who can read Japanese to join ...
Hi all I've just seen a first translation of the moves of the pieces in Ko Shogi. Well, be prepared for a strange Shogi variant! I'll leave it to Lynn when he...
Lo folks, The Chess Variants Pages has a page now for Taikyoku Shogi (Ultimate Shogi). http://www.chessvariants.com/shogivariants.dir/taikyoku_english.html The...

... Definitely not my contribution, but I'm glad to see it has been picked up. Oh dear, that reminds me of a completely forgotten tenjiku game with Ruud ... ...
There are over 400 pieces per player! If Tai was created by some "recreational megalomaniac", who the heck thought up this one? :P The king can move two...
During previous discussions, it was concluded that this game could probably take a lifetime to play. Of course the behaviour of some of the power pieces might...
Hi all I've just uploaded a file (KoShogi.zip), which contains Lynn's transcription of the scans from the book, the first translation, and a diagram I quickly...
Diagram of the set-up has improved a bit, so if you downloaded the zip-file earlier and want to have a better set-up diagram, it's there. Cheers, Lex...
Regarding recent discussions on Tai Kyoku Shogi, it is not correct to think that this game is the latest of the variants by any means. The most recent research...

The current intrepretation was extrapolated from scans provided at this Group site. All names and rules were entirely based upon these. Therefore, it should...
The discussion about this particular game has given me an idea. Why not have this Group divide up into two camps, Black and White. Each side would make a...
This would be a cool idea, though I think it might be better to simply find a different site to play it at, and add a link from here. No need to drown out...
The fact that the game might not be completed in a member's lifetime should not be a determent. This would become a living entity, existing beyond and...
I like this idea, but I would configure it differently. I don't think clutter would be an issue. One move a week wouldn't result in many extra messages. I...
I would not want to impose upon this group the extra messages that could be caused. Unless the majority of the users don't mind. I like your idea of the two...
I'm definitely interested in playing! Ever since I heard about Tai Shogi and Taikyoku Shogi, I've been secretly interested in playing one of these massive...
... My suggestions: 1. Play a "smaller" variant instead first so yo uget a fell of how move-by-committee works, even Dai shogi would take a while to finish a...
The rules of Taikyoku Shogi can be accepted "as is". Any future adjustments during the game would be at the agreement of both sides. But it is not necessary...
