I'm trying to figure out the solution to this Chu Tsumeshogi (MSM B45) so I can include it in my Chu Shogi Applet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FEN: 12/5+P6/1m5g3r/3+v+B1s1t+M2/1N4k5/m2etP3p2/7p+T3/2Px8/+p+A1+o7+M/1T2P+i2+p1n1/4+r7/12 w - 0 1

I am assuming that the grey Pawn is there.

There is a solution on the MSM Errata B page, but it leaves out the first 10 moves per player:

11... K-9k (11... K-8j 12. +BT-8h K-7k 13. Lnx9i K-6l 14. +SM-11l K-5k 15. Ln-7i K-4k 16. Ln-5i mate) 12. Lnx9i K-8l 13. Ln-10j K-7l 14. +BTx7j +Rx7j 15. Ln-9l K-6k 16. +SM-10k K-6j 17. Ln-8l K-6i 18. +SMx12i K-6h 19. Lnx7j K-6g 20. +SM-8i K-6f 21. Ln-6h K-7e 22. Lnx5g-5f K-8d 23. Ln-6f K-8c 24. +SM-5f K-9c 25. Ln-7d K-10d 26. +SMx8f K-11e 27. Lnx9d K-12f 28. Ln-10d K-12g 29. +SM-7g DE-9g 30. Ln-10e K-12h 31. +SM-10j K-11h 32. Ln-9g K-12i 33. Ln-10i mate

[Edit] I managed to find one that got the Gote King to 9k in 9 moves: 1. +Bg7 Kxg7 2. +Mxd4 Xxd4= 3. +Tih7 Kxf7 4. +Tg6 Ke6 5. +Tf5 Kd5 6. +Ab7 Mxb7 7. Tc4 Kxc4 8. Na6 Kd3 9. Nb5 Kd2
