A look on Shougi part 1

As usual, it is in my boring moments that I find something interesting. Today I was browsing the naruto article in wikipedia. I then read the profile of one the characters(shikamaru) and came across the part where he was playing shougi. I got interested and after a few more searchesa dn reading the rules, I was browsing the net for free software to give it a try.

At first I thought it was simple game even though it did resemble chess a bit. My first encounter with the computer(on very weak level) ended in utter defeat XD. Since I am a bit of an occasional chess player, I was surprised that playing it required a different set of mind set than chess. This led me to more matches.
