EurasiaChess-White 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 and White(Red) Kings are differentiated.
Promoted pieces get Gold color.
This set can be printed in order to play "In Real Life", but I didn't have time nor received such a request, so... maybe I'll do it later.
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-White" with the artwork.
