<p>GNU shogi is a program that plays shogi, the Japanese version of chess,
against a human (or computer) opponent.  This file describes how to use
GNU shogi and also gives background information about the game of shogi.
</p>
<p>This file describes GNU Shogi version 1.4.1, but most of it was
written for version 1.3.2 by Mike Vanier
<a href="mailto:mvanier@cs.caltech.edu">mvanier@cs.caltech.edu</a>, maintainer of GNU shogi at that time.
</p>
<p>GNU Shogi is currently maintained by Yann Dirson
<a href="mailto:ydirson@free.fr">ydirson@free.fr</a>.
</p>

<p>GNU Shogi is actually one program, &rsquo;gnushogi&rsquo;, the text-based program
which also contains the game-playing engine.  By default it will play
Standard Shogi, but can be built to play Mini Shogi (with GNU Shogi
1.4.x, you will need to do that explicitely using &lsquo;./configure
&ndash;enable-minishogi&rsquo;, but 1.5 will make this more straightforward).
</p>
<p>Most players will just run GNU Shogi through one of the compatible
graphical interfaces:
</p>
<ol>
<li> <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/tagua/yd.git">Tagua</a>, a KDE-based GUI for
Chess and Shogi. Developement stopped several years ago, and it is
still somewhat maintained at Debian.  Probably the most sophisticated
and best-looking free GUI available today.

</li><li> <a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/omaha/">Omaha</a>, a generic
board-game GUI, supporting Shogi and other games, with currently only
a Gtk2-based UI.  Still under developement, but already usable for
casual games.

</li><li> <a href="https://github.com/pcapriotti/kaya">Kaya</a>, a small KDE-based GUI
successor to Tagua, but development of this still young program seem
to have stalled.

</li><li> <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/xboard/">XBoard/Winboard</a>, a GUI for
much more than Shogi, part of the GNU Project.  Patches for GNU Shogi
to support it are being integrated into the developement version,
1.4.x and earlier versions cannot talk to it.

</li><li> <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnushogi/">XShogi</a>, an X-Window graphical
interface to gnushogi, forked off GNU XBoard years ago, and far from
today&rsquo;s UI standards. It has barely been maintained recently, while
XBoard has grown much and is able to play Shogi, and will be soon
retired.

<p>The GNU Shogi distribution used to contain the &rsquo;xshogi&rsquo; program, In
future versions, GNU Shogi will be able to use XBoard as a GUI and
XShogi will be retired.  XShogi is still available as a separate
source archive on the GNU project FTP server.
</p>
</li></ol>


<p>Disclaimer: I use the personal pronouns &ldquo;him&rdquo;, &ldquo;his&rdquo; etc. to refer
to a shogi player regardless of gender.  That&rsquo;s easier than writing
&ldquo;his or her&rdquo; all over the place.  I don&rsquo;t mean to infer that women
don&rsquo;t play shogi; in fact shogi is very popular in Japan among women as
well as men.
