This game was a bit neglected on my part for a while, partly because of my interest in large Shogi variants and the long process of experimentation with the Suzumu Fire Demon's move. Now that those are out of the way, I have decided to give this page a facelift. I have added an interactive diagram to this page and updated its images to keep its style in line with the rules pages for Yangsi and Ryugi, and I did some double-checking to make sure the rules were in line with those of Yangsi and Ryugi. I also fixed a few typos in the ruleset references for the Hectochess and Ryugi presets.

Now all that is left is the difficult tasks of implementing the Suzumu Fire Demon's burning move in Game Courier, implementing the Lion Dog in Game Courier (for the larger games in the Suzumu family), and figuring out how to implement Cannon Shosu Shogi in Game Courier (The hopping moves make it impossible to use the code I used for Shosu Shogi and Futashikana Shogi).
