One of the greatest strategy games in the world, Japanese Chess rarely finishes as a draw (less than one in a hundred games). Since captured enemy pieces can be dropped back into the game on your own side, the endgame is not a slow tedious process as in common chess, but a dash for checkmate! Pieces can drop into empty squares near to the enemy Shogun, and the essence of the game is to spot such mating attacks. Many strong chess players have found Shogi to be a great game to play. Although played by millions in Japan, so far it is not so well known outside Japan. ChessCentral is pleased to offer the award winning chess variant Shogi software program from Multisell. The CD includes popular variants Tori Shogi (also called Bird Shogi with specially designed graphics), Mini, Micro and Judkin's Shogi. Pieces in each variant can be viewed as Traditional Japanese calligraphy, Western Learner sets, or its special easy-to-learn designs. As well as the game itself, this software has a large graphical encyclopedia of Shogi history and explains the rules and some basic strategies. The Shocky engine that powers the software reached the grand Final of the 10th annual World Computer Shogi Championships. It includes modifiable opening books, various playing strengths, and can be individually customized! The software comes on an attractive CD in a clear DVD case. Multi-player capable. The game software (from 1 to 4 players) on this CD-ROM is capable of play across a local computer network or remotely across computers over the internet.
