I've been playing chess off and on for almost 30 years now

It's a pretty terrible game,

I played / got good at it on a DS version of the game, I regret every moment.

>>49692124
What's terrible about it? It seems very similar to chess.

>>49692141

all the pieces look the same unless you know moonrunes,

Yes, they all move in their own way, and in a way it IS similar to chess. It's just the chink eyed version to where half the way into the game you won't remember what piece does what.

>>49692160
So what you're saying is you regret learning a game that has moonrunes and its not a bad game you just don't like moonrunes.

>>49692167

It's not a bad game, It's just super easy to mix up the pieces.

>>49692177
Well I asked why the first poster said its a terrible game.

>>49692190

OP,
It's just been me and you this whole time,

I'm a bit drunk,

but I don't like the game.

I am the first poster,


I'm every poster so far that isn't you.

>Shogi is terrible.
Clearly you're not playing it the Seki way.

>>49692213

I said before I played it on DS.

Get PS+, download Yakuza 5 for free, play shogi with the shogi fucker on night 1.

Wow OP, you sure are old.

I dunno where to play online, but I hope someone finds somewhere and posts it in this thread, I have a shitty magnetic board and pieces so I can occasionally play a game with friends when the mood strikes us. It's a fun game, though a bit strange when compared to chess. Even moreso as an abstraction of war considering the capturing and redeploying of enemy captured pieces.
