Shogi

The boy who sits next to Yokoi in class, Seki-kun, is always up to something at his desk. He manages to somehow play very elaborate games without attracting the teacher's attention. From dominoes, to shogi, to go, to mecha models, to playing with cats and more, he always has something new to do...

L'origine dei giochi si perde nella notte dei tempi. Nel corso dei secoli, gli uomini ne hanno inventati moltissimi, tutti diversi, ma uniti da un solo linguaggio: quello del divertimento. Questo libro ne insegue le tracce in un insolito giro attorno al mondo: dallo shögi al backgammon, le regole di ciascun gioco fanno da spunto per ispirare 80 enigmi e puzzle tutti nuovi, e tutti da giocare, ideati dal genio dell'enigmistica Iacopo Cellini. Viaggia per i cinque continenti e risolvi puzzle e rompicapo basati sui semi delle carte o sulle pedine degli scacchi, sperimenta la filosofia orientale del chaturanga, scopri la storia di grandi classici come il mulino e la tombola e metti alla prova ciò che hai imparato!

WinBoard is a pretty basic chess game that is mainly intended to play games online, using different chess engines. In fact Winboard works more as a graphic front-end for several different chess engines included with the game, as well as for several chess game modes. These include not only player vs player or human vs computer competitions, but also games played online and even by email. WinBoard also lets you save games at any moment and resume them exactly at the same point where you left them, and review previous games as a way to remember good movements or learn new techniques.
