EurasiaChess-Color Shogi Pieces
Here is a set of pictographic Shogi pieces I designed, inspired with :- regular symbol representation for orthodox chess pieces (K,R,B,N,P). Q(Gold General) as been slightly modified.
- Silver symbol is based on moon (like Motif Shogi Silver piece, from Fergus Duniho)
- Lance symbol is representing a oneway arrow.
These shogi token have both chess symbols and simplified kanji representation, in order to make it easier to:
- learn simplified kanji
- play against a "kanji-reader" ;)
- follow recorded shogi games, often written in kanji (or java-displayed in kanji)
Black pieces are Blue, and White pieces are Red. In such a way, pieces are only to be used with computer (captures and drops are no more possible playing "in real Life").
Promoted pieces get Gold color(for the Whites), or lighter Blue (for the Blacks).
Here are some samples on initial setup and playing game.
You may use these noncommercially so long as you credit my name "E.Baud" and "EurasiaChess-Color" with the artwork.
