\"Regular<\/a>SHOGI<\/span> \u2014 THE<\/span> NEXT<\/span> GENERATION<\/span><\/strong> of play\u00aders, as well as long time play\u00aders, will find them\u00adselves mov\u00ading into the future with this excit\u00ading tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal game. The game relies
\non all of the instruc\u00adtions for Sho\u00adgi<\/a>. How\u00adev\u00ader, because of the dimen\u00adsion\u00adal fac\u00adtor<\/em>, there is a need for addi\u00adtion\u00adal instruc\u00adtions as to how the pieces move. It takes the same amount of time<\/span> and the same num\u00adber of moves as reg\u00adu\u00adlar Sho\u00adgi. (Here\u2019s a 2D<\/span> game of Sho\u00adgi down\u00adload<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"Shogi<\/a>The top and bot\u00adtom boards each have 81 squares for a total of 162 squares.  As with oth\u00ader 3D<\/span> games, the Pieces<\/strong> are set up in this way: one play\u00ader on the top board<\/span> labelled \u201cA\u201d<\/span> and the oth\u00ader play\u00ader on the bot\u00adtom board<\/span> labelled \u201cB\u201d in their tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal man\u00adner<\/span>. When you record a game as the game is being played out (Sho\u00adgi nota\u00adtion), the board lev\u00adel (\u201cA\u201d or \u201cB\u201d) is writ\u00adten in front of the square named. Both boards have a pro\u00admo\u00adtion line. A pre\u00advi\u00adous\u00adly cap\u00adtured piece may be dropped onto any vacant square on either lev\u00adel, and this con\u00adsti\u00adtutes one move. In the sec\u00adond game, each play\u00ader switch\u00ades board levels.<\/p>\n

\"Shogi<\/a>THE<\/span> GAME<\/span> PIECES<\/span><\/span><\/strong> all move and cap\u00adture in their usu\u00adal man\u00adner on any one board lev\u00adel as in reg\u00adu\u00adlar Sho\u00adgi. The move\u00adment from one board lev\u00adel to anoth\u00ader<\/span><\/strong> or a dimen\u00adsion\u00adal move, (either to a vacant square, or to cap\u00adture an oppo\u00adnents piece) is as follows
\n(see also the diagrams):<\/p>\n

\"Shogi<\/a>All pieces<\/strong><\/span>, except the Knight and Bish\u00adop<\/span>, can move to or cap\u00adture direct\u00adly below or above the square on which it is sit\u00adting. For the rest of the pieces, mov\u00ading your piece direct\u00adly Up or Down does NOT<\/span> con\u00adsti\u00adtute a back\u00adward movement.
\n\"3D
\nK \u2014 KING<\/span>:<\/strong> \u2014 (If, for exam\u00adple, it was on lev\u00adel \u201cA\u201d, sec\u00adond row) can move one square away from the square on which it is sit\u00adting. There\u00adfore, the nine squares below it three in front, one direct\u00adly below it, one on each side of it, and three behind it, are the squares it can move to.<\/p>\n

R \u2014 ROOK<\/span>:<\/strong> \u2014 (If on \u201cA\u201d lev\u00adel) can move to the square direct\u00adly below it. When
\nit cross\u00ades the far side pro\u00admo\u00adtion line on ether lev\u00adel, it pro\u00admotes. It gains the ability
\nto move eight more squares for a total of nine squares, same as the Ring.<\/p>\n

B \u2014 BISHOP<\/span>:<\/strong> \u2014 Can move to the two squares diag\u00ado\u00adnal\u00adly for\u00adward or the two squares
\ndiag\u00ado\u00adnal\u00adly to the rear (a total of four squares). Upon pro\u00admo\u00adtion, it can now move a
\ntotal of eight squares. Three squares for\u00adward, one square right or left of it, and three
\nsquares in the rear.<\/p>\n

G \u2014 GOLD<\/span> GENERAL<\/span>:<\/strong> \u2014 Can move one square away from itself in any direc\u00adtion except the two diag\u00ado\u00adnal squares to the rear (a total of sev\u00aden squares).<\/p>\n

S \u2014 SILVER<\/span> GENERAL<\/span>:<\/strong> \u2014 Can move to the three squares direct\u00adly in front, one below, and the two diag\u00ado\u00adnal squares to the rear (a total of six squares). Pro\u00admotes as a Gold General.<\/p>\n

N \u2014 KNIGHT<\/span>:<\/strong> \u2014 (If on \u201cA\u201d lev\u00adel) in one move goes for\u00adward two squares and drops
\ndirect\u00adly below the sec\u00adond square. There\u00adfore mov\u00ading like the shape of an \u201cL\u201d dimen\u00adsion\u00adal\u00adly. It jumps over any piece in its way and lands on the vacant square or cap\u00adtur\u00ading the oppo\u00adnent piece on that square. From it\u2019s orig\u00adi\u00adnal posi\u00adtion, (on \u201cA\u201d lev\u00adel) mov\u00ading two squares for\u00adward, it would land on the square beneath the pawn on the third row. Pro\u00admotes as a Gold General.<\/p>\n

L \u2014 LANCE<\/span>:<\/strong> \u2014 Can move\/capture the square direct\u00adly below it or direct\u00adly in front
\nof it (a total of two squares). It can\u00adnot retreat. Pro\u00admotes as a Gold General.<\/p>\n

P \u2014 PAWN<\/span>:<\/strong> \u2014 Same as Lance.<\/p>\n

The dia\u00adgram below demon\u00adstrates if a piece was on the top board lev\u00adel, although the piece could also be on the bot\u00adtom board lev\u00adel. How\u00adev\u00ader like shown in the pic\u00adtures above, one side is on top and the oth\u00ader on the bot\u00adtom<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Shogi<\/a>Because of the Dimen\u00adsion\u00adal<\/em><\/span> factor,
\nBEWARE<\/span> OF<\/span> THE<\/span> UNEXPECTED<\/span>.
\nIt\u2019s Not The Same Game!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Something to Think-about \u2026<\/span><\/h1>\n

When play\u00ading reg\u00adu\u00adlar Sho\u00adgi (or 2D<\/span> flat 1 board Sho\u00adgi), you only have a cer\u00adtain amount of good open\u00ading moves to make. Some moves are bad moves or los\u00ading moves. How\u00adev\u00ader you must move the pawns to get things in motion. There\u00adfore, you are lim\u00adit\u00aded to what you can play as a good bunch (1st five moves) of open\u00ading moves!<\/span><\/p>\n

How\u00adev\u00ader, when play\u00ading 3D<\/span> Sho\u00adgi (or \u201cShog \u2014 The Next Gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion\u201d), you have 20 pos\u00adsi\u00adble open\u00ading moves! There is also an incred\u00adi\u00adble num\u00adber of open\u00ading com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtions (1st five moves) that would nev\u00ader have exist\u00aded in reg\u00adu\u00adlar 2D<\/span> Shogi.<\/span><\/p>\n

This game gets you think\u00ading up\/down as well as on a flat sur\u00adface, there\u00adfore in 3D<\/span>! It will give your brain a real work-out like you\u2019ve nev\u00ader had one before!<\/p>\n
