ooh! i managed to swipe @Arch on lishogi~
(i guess i probably shouldn't be surprised because of its popularity compared to lichess and the fact that it's pretty new)
huge fan of the ability to set your board background from a url~
i am Pretty Bad at shogi, but i've always found it much more interesting than chess because of how you can place pieces you capture from your opponent back on the board~
it'll be nice to have something that looks and feels nice to play on to learn with!
lishogi actually has a pretty rad tutorial too!
(and piece sets that don't require you to know kanji--even though i'm definitely going to lean into that personally)
@thingywott this is coooool, didnt know there was a lichess like version of shogi, learning to play it on a computer and without needing to know / be able to recognise gur kanji seems allot more aproachable
@bx oh, huge agree!
if you're interested, maybe we can play some time too!
(pronounced: if you're interested, maybe you can repeatedly beat me some time too!)
@thingywott hell yeah! (though, i tend not to win to much at chess / other board based strategy, it could go either way!)
