xshogi

With xshogi you can play GNU Shogi, set up arbitrary positions, force variations, or watch xshogi manage a game between two shogi programs. It can also be used as an interface between two players on different displays.

The program can also be used as a shogiboard to play games. It will read through a game file or allow a player to play through a variation manually (force mode). This is useful for keeping track of email postal games or browsing games off the net.

xshogi can also be used as an X client for the Internet Shogi Server (ISS), which is currently embedded in the Internet Go Server (IGS). xshogi connects to the ISS and displays all positions sent by the ISS graphically. So, games from the observation list are recognized as well as your own matches. In the case of your own matches, pieces are moved on the graphical display. You can use Shogi in this way even if you don't have GNU Shogi.

As of Nov 19, 2004, this package has no maintainer. If you would be interested in maintaining 'xshogi', please email . This project was a GNU package. It has since been decommissioned and is no longer developed.
