Shogi variants

Hi TJ,

Thanks for all the hard work on shogi! You must be putting in some long nights.

I'm confirming the details of naming, movement, and promotions against the Japanese articles. There's a fair amount of disagreement, but I don't know whether the problem's in your sources, or if the Japanese articles are sloppy. Anyway, once it's in the edit history somewhere, we can always revert if I'm wrong.

Looks like both sources are unreliable to some extent, so in some cases for tai shogi I just listed the possibilities. I've only tried verifying tenjiku and tai.

I've fixed the romanization for all but taikyoku. If you want to take care of that with the pieces that exist in the other variants, I'll cover of the rest.

See ya, kwami 00:19, 2005 September 8 (UTC)

Hi again,

I've been nominated for admin at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Kwamikagami. Would you be willing to support me?

kwami 19:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to get my vote of support in time but I didn't find out about it untill after I got back from Alaska. It was only a day late. Oh well. JTTyler 01:09, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks anyway. It's nice to be appreciated regardless! kwami 02:32, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese browser extensions

Hey again,

I don't know which browser you use, but if it's Firefox, there are a couple nice extensions you might be interested in. One's called Moji, which is a built-in dictionary. Highlight a selection, and click on word or kanji dictionary to look it up, and it will display in a side bar. You can have it display the Mandarin, Korean, radical, 4-corner code, etc. or Unicode in the case of kanji. Another, called Rikai, used to work only on special web pages such as the Japan Times, but now an update called Rikaichan will work on any page. I just tested it on Japanese wiki. Toggle it on, and it will look up any word you hover the cursor over. (Also looks up kana.) Then toggle off when you don't need it. It has a faster response than Moji, and it will look up kana too, but you can't customize it.

Thought they might be of interest - kwami 05:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thay are of interest, however I'm using MS Internet explorer at the moment. Mayby I'll try Firefox next month. JTTyler 13:24, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sannin shogi

Added a sannin shogi article, basically just a rewording of an off-site source I was trying not to plagiarise. Sound like it might be a fun game, if you want to take a look. kwami 01:42, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added diagrams to dai dai shogi. That was exhausting, so I probably made some dumb mistakes. I'd appreciate it if you could take a look when you're back from break. (I should be out of the country and off the grid by then.) I didn't diagram all variant moves when the English and Japanese sources didn't agree: I chose the moves that were the same as in maka dai-dai, different from taikyoku, and most symmetrical with similar pieces within dai-dai. But there's a piece or two with both variants diagramed.

Hope your break went well! kwami 02:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help with translation

Sam Sloan received a letter from Yoshiharu Habu and he cannot translate it. You suppose you could? OneWeirdDude (talk) 03:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Four months later I finally read this. Shows how often I check this page! Unfortunately for you, my Japanese language skills aren't as good as a native Japanese kindergarten graduate. I've been too busy to study as much as I'd like. Thanks but sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.80.178.227 (talk) 00:40, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whale shogi impasses

Where did you get the 14 from as the number of points to draw in jishogi in Whale shogi? And what about the other numbers in the other games? And how do you get a jishogi when there's no promotion zone? With all due respect, OneWeirdDude (talk) 00:45, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
