Take Oo Ninnin. A Smess-like game vaguely similar to Shogi. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

The board is perfect except the space in front of the King is forward instead of backward. Also, I said these pieces corresponded in no way to their Shogi counterparts. It was necessary to reverse the Silver and Gold to make an aesthetically pleasing arrow setup (1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1) , and because if I implemented it the normal way, the Silver would always be able to move sideways in the opening position, which it normally cannot do. I'll see if I can reverse it, if possible. Then again, you can always just put the Gold in the Silver's spot and vice versa. When I say rotated, it can be either way.
