Shogi for Chess Players #4: Capturing and Dropping Pieces

The last in a four-part series on Shogi, the Japanese form of Chess, this video uses Zillions of Games to finish explaining the rules in detail, focusing on how to drop captured pieces. I then give a quick introduction to Zillions of Games, and I compare my script for Shogi with the one that comes with the program. 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.
