If you ever get around to a rule-enforcing Game Courier preset for this, send me an invite.

I just finished making a rule-enforcing preset for Chu Seireigi, which is pretty similar.

It might be a little while before I finish a Dai Seireigi preset due to needing to program the hook movers (Hook Mover, Capricorn, Square Mover, and Great Dragon) and promotable stinging pieces (Poisonous Snake and Cat Sword) and their corresponding rule enforcement.

Edit: I figured out how to code the hook-moving pieces with logride. The rest is actually rather simple.

However, in the meantime, I'll send you an invite for Chu Seireigi. Look for it in your GC logs (<User> -> Your Games on Game Courier)

You'll probably take me down within 15 moves (actually, 10 wouldn't surprise me), but I really like the looks of this game.

Your probably right that I will win, but it'll take a lot more than 15 moves. The range-jumpers only jump once, and the hook movers cannot jump at all. Furthermore, there's plenty of chances for mistakes to be made, allowing you at least a small chance of victory. This is also the case for Chu Seireigi, which doesn't have range-jumpers or hook movers at all.
