Shatar vs Blue Sky Shogi

Shatar was the variant of chess, played for many centuries in Mongolia, before it was replaced by FIDE chess by pressure of the former CCCP. This game is a direct offspring of the medieval Arabic chess, evolving in a different direction as chess did in Western Europe and Russia. The movement of the queen is particularly interesting, as it has the combined moves of a Ferz (general) and Rook. In 1993, AISE organized a `Grand Prix’ tournament (played by postal mail) on Shatar. In later years, more Shatar tournaments were held in this game.

This is a shogi game in which all "歩" are removed. * Recommended for beginners The reduced number of pieces makes it easier to judge which piece to move. * Improve your shogi skills Exchange of pieces is important in order to become good at shogi, but you can freely move "角", "飛", "金", "銀", etc. from the first move, and you can also exchange pieces, making it easy to practice exchanging pieces. * Game time is short The game moves faster and the game time is shorter than regular shogi, so it is recommended as a quick and easy way to play shogi.
