Micro-Shogi by Georg Dunkel

	Black: NetWorld	White: G. Dunkel	comments
1.	S4e - 3d	G2a -3b	I got two moves: G-2d and a1-b2. In fact this is impossible, but it's easy to undestand this move; it means Se4-3d, opponent haven't realized that in shogi Black is the opposite of western chess. Both moves was sent from same address. I drew lots, and S-3d won! This move is good and interesting opening!
2.	G3e-2d	B3a-2b	-B:'s strong move, I suppose.
3.	S3d-2c	G3b-3c	B: found excellent move, because W: was quite careless in 3th move!
4.	G2d-3d	G3cx2c=R
5.	G3dx2c=R	S*3b	I got two moves, both Gx2c
6.	R2c-2d	B2b-3c	.
7.	R*3e	B3cx2d=T	B: Tough position.White checks
8.	Kx2d	R*2c	(Black's only move)White checks
9.	K2d-1e	S1a-1b	.
10.	B2e-3d	R2c-3c	B: "The rook could be dangerous!" W: Yes, I have to escape with the rook.
11.	B*2d	R3cx3d=G	.
12.	R3ex3d=G	T*3a	.
13.	G*3c	S1b-2a	W: Black has created strong position and White has to be careful!
14.	K1e-2e	S2a-2b	.
15.	G3cx3b=R (old notation B3cx3b=T was wrong, sorry)	K4ax3b.	Black: There is no sense in trading both G/Rs for the S/Ls, so you might as well make the best of it.The big question is whether to take 3b or 2b. I chose 3b because it is closer to the King and MUST be responded to.Black can plan on: 15... Tx3b 16. L4e, pinning the P and allowing an attack.or if 15... Kx3b S2c of S*3c basically forcing the K to retreat to 2a... although then after B-1c, White will have a chance to start an attack... this line is much more difficult to predict and might actually lead to an advantage for White. Black will need to evaluate this move more carefully before committing to it.-JEEP W: captunig with King. Maybe it's better to save T/B as Tokin, it's stronger in this position, I suppose.
16.	S * 3c	K3b-4a	Black: If K-2a, Sx2b=L White:...but I try this one :-)
17.	S3cx4b=L	T3ax4b=B	Black: There is an error in the game record. B move 15. In 13 B drops Gold on 3c, in 15 is has become a Bishop. White: Thanks for careful notice: B really was G!.
18.	B2dx4b=T	K4ax4b	B: Black needs more material in hand. It feels like a critical point in the game now. W: Yes I agree, there are so many pieces in hand...
19.	T*4c	K4b-3a	.
20.	P*3b	K3a-2a	B: White seems to continue checking!
21.	K2e-3e	R*1e	B: Maybe now this has become White's game because of all the pieces in hand. W: Unfortunately you are right
22.	K3e-4d	T*4e++	...and checkmate.

I havn´t found any others, so if you know
some web-pages of Micro-Shogi,
also in Japanese modes, please write to:

Tietoa tästä upeasta universaalista lautapelistä saa surffailemalla
Pieter Stoutenin Shogi-sivulle.
Sille on tyylikkäästi kootu koko tietous pelistä.
Aloittelija löytää sieltä selkeät peliohjeet.
Harrastelijat voivat pelata pelisoftaa vastaan,
ja linkkejä syvälliseen tietoon on tiedonhaluisille huippupelaajillekin.

Olen jo parikymmentä vuotta sitten opetellut Shogin alkeet
ja jäänyt "koukkuun" - peli on vaikeudessaan vastustamaton!

Shogi on ikivanha shakkipeli, joka juontaa vuosituhannen päähän
varianttina Intialaisesta shakkipelin alkumuodosta Shaturangasta.
Shakin alkupeli kulkeutui Pesiaan ja sieltä Eurooppaan
länsimaiseksi shakiksi kehittyen. Shaturanga siirtyi samaten Kiinaan,
jossa peli on kehittynyt nykyiseksi Xiangqi:ksi.
Toisaalta alkupelin yksi kehityhaara kulkeui Korean kautta Japaniin,
jossa shakki kehittyi Shogiksi.
Nykyisin säännöin 9x9 laudalla Shogia on pelattu 1600-luvulta alkaen.
Nuoria, alle 100 vuoden ikäisiä muunnelmia on muun muassa
edellä esitetty Mikro-shogi = Five-minute Poppy Shogi
jota patataan 4x5 lautaruudukolla, mutta on turha kuvitella,
että kyseessä olisi jonkinasteinen lastenpeli. - kaikkea muuta!
