Well HG, no need to talk about museum display and Edo period! Cool. I was just asking. My question makes sense anyway. I don't find your choice is consistent. If you want to ease the users up to using a board which completely foreign to Japanese tradition, then why keeping with pieces with kanjis? Chu shogi does not even need pointed pieces by the way.

To my taste, a shogi with kanjis on a checkered board is ankward. That's all.

The checking rule is a different story. I understand that choice here.
