So I'm finally watching the loli shogi anime (even though I've had an open tab for the google search for literal years, seeing screencaps of Ai pushed me over the edge) and the next episode preview music vaguely reminds me of Diddy Kong Racing music, and now that's stuck in my head
KuroRose It's pretty cute. I still don't know what the fuck Shogi is or how to play it.
limpandazure Shogi is essentially the Japanese version of chess

limpandazure KuroRose It's very complex Chess. Actually, everything is very co-... 4D Chess. 😱
Immahnoob limpandazure Its not even complex. The only differences are the amount of pieces and how those pieces move

KuroRose limpandazure Well, there are far too many combinations in Chess, imagine making even more, kek. Master Chess players aren't that many even if it's all calculable.

@KuroRose@varishangout.net @Immahnoob@varishangout.net @limpandazure@varishangout.net The board is also bigger and you can put captured pieces back into play. In terms of the number of possible games it's actually much more complex. Computers surpassed human chess players a long time ago, but it happened with shogi only recently.
