About

Repository for shogi pieces and boards I made or modified.

I have a separate repository for chess, chess variants, janggi, xiangqi, sittuyin: https://github.com/Ka-hu/chess-pieces

Click on the pictures to see them in high resolution.

The filenames are for pychess.org by default, but you can use them with XBoard or other programs by renaming the files. I made a shell script for this, see shogitool.sh in this repository. Copy shogitool.sh into the directory of a piece set (eg. kanji_red_wood) and run ./shogitool.sh --help for more information. For example, you can rename the files to the XBoard naming format by ./shogitool.sh p2x

International piece set
A modified version of CouchTomato87's and Hidetchi's pieces.
I modified the rook, the bishop, the lance, and made new king and jeweled pieces.
Kanji light piece set
Simple, light colored kanji pieces
Kanji brown piece set
Simple, brown colored kanji pieces
Military piece set
An unconventional piece set. When a piece got promoted it gets a red rank above its picture, except the tank (rook) which becomes a drone tank, and the aircraft (bishop) which becomes a drone.
