I came up with an idea to give the side-mover and vertical-mover more "in fantasy" names: sentry (as it moves side-to-side, keeping an eye on a zone) and scout (as it goes up and down, exploring a hostile area).
2:23 Promotion is quite different from modern shogi. You can promote after: entering the promotion zone from outside, or capturing with a piece that began its turn in the promotion zone.
If you know how to play Chu Shogi, Dai Shogi is actually not that hard to learn. Aside from the starting setup and the 15x15 board, there are only 7 pieces unique to Dai Shogi + the knight, also the lion trading rules do not apply to Dai Shogi.
I’m confused on your explanation of the soaring eagle and horned falcon, you mentioned that their lion movements allowed them to move forward one square, and then back to their original position. But how does that work, if we imagine the horned falcon as having two separate moves, wouldn’t it just move forward once, and because it has no lion moves backwards from that position, it would be forced to move forward again. Can it only go forwards once committing to the lion move, or is an inherit part of having lion moves is being able to go back to your original position.
The lion moves are basically in that direction INCLUDING the starting position. So yes, lion moves allow them to go back to their starting position after stepping one step in that direction.
Yes, a player can pass their turn that way. Over the board, this is signified by double-tapping your lion. Likewise, if you don't have a lion, you can pass your turn with a falcon or eagle, if it has an unoccupied square in the direction of its lion-movement.
Yep, I'll be going over the lion moves in the second part of the video, as there are a lot of rules pertaining to the lions. I just pushed this one out a little earlier because there is an upcoming chu shogi tournament over the weekend.

I lost it at the drunk elephant being too drunk to move backwards.
Imagine someone play this game blindfolded
Probably easier than playing standard shogi blindfold: there are no drops in Chu Shogi.
Yes but then they’re playing 4 people
@@DieFlabbergastmuch superior version then
Drunk elephant is the best name for a piece
The drunk elephant should promote to a sober elephant 🐘
It's name originates from the fact that elephants used to be fed alcohol before battle, such that they would get enraged and go berserk.

Thanks for catching that! I'll address that in the second video
I just cut that part from the video to avoid confusion.
@@pychessbrainlet
There's a lot to cover so I'm gonna split it into 2 videos and proceeds to talk for 21 minutes 😮. That's gotta be a reeeeeeealy complicated game xD
Hi, I love your channel!
Can you make a video on Dai Shogi (Large Shogi) as well?
Thankss
No, that's not going to be playable on any site for the foreseeable future

you rock!
Would like to see this with Japanese pieces...
What are the criteria of adding a new variant to Pychess?
i have created a variant but have no idea how to program it

@@pychess oh okay, thank you for the clarification
can the lion move to an unoccupied square then back to where it started?
if it can, that seems like a way of being able to pass
Yes, a player can pass their turn that way. Over the board, this is signified by double-tapping your lion. Likewise, if you don't have a lion, you can pass your turn with a falcon or eagle, if it has an unoccupied square in the direction of its lion-movement.
@@dax0050 thanks for the answer
i wonder how you indicate this on the online version
@@sovietblobfish Online, you have to move back and forth to pass. There's no "pass" button.
Yeah, as far as I know

Also, where, if anywhere, caan i play this?
You can play it on lishogi. Click the "Show more" button to see the link.
Real fail not including the other Shogi sizes like this and Dai Shogi, which is the original, on PyChess.
It’s not possible due to size limitations
Tenjiku Shogi would be awesome lol
Can you add Tamerlane Chess?
Nah, we need courier.
@@kishascape Classic courier or modern courier?
Mm
