天竺将棋　Tenjiku Shogi

Tenjiku Shogi is a large Shogi variant from about 500 years ago.  It plays on a 16x16 board with  many many pieces.  

- This game has a Fire Demon (火鬼)... enough said.

- Besides that is has a number of very interesting moving pieces and is said to play faster than most shogi variants simply because of the brutality of the pieces.

- It developed from Chu-Shogi, one of the greats, so has all of those pieces, but adds a number of new ones.  

- There is a very good free book written on this game in English.  I will add it to the strip below later. 

Almost the images/photos on the site were created by Chris Bogert.  

(with the exception of a few patterns and pieces in images and gallery section.)

If there is anything on the site you created, and would like removed let me know.  

Feel free to use my images, but please ask first.  Thank you.
