Shogi for Chess Players #3: Moving and Promoting Pieces

The third in a four-part series on Shogi, the Japanese form of Chess, this video uses Zillions of Games to begin explaining the rules in detail, focusing on how pieces move and promote. The pieces used here are made with Armando Marroquin's Chess Motif font for the Chess piece images, the remaining images being based on the designs used in my Symbolic set, seen in the first video. The graphics used in this video can be used to play Shogi online with Game Courier and against a PC with BCMShogi.
