'Fairy Pieces Part 1' showcases 154 shogi pieces from all the old and medieval shogi variants, starting from 'Heian shogi' which appeared at least as early as the 12th century up to 'Tori shogi' which appeared in the late 18th century.

Pieces appear on the 16x12 and 12x12 boards. On the 16x12 board, the variant 'Show All Pieces' will have all 154 pieces placed on the board (for white). All pieces are done with western style alfaerie graphics, and all pieces are edited totry to show the movement of the pieces just by looking at the graphic. The pieces are arranged on the zrf's in alphabetical order for easy finding.

Although this is not a game, i have made some 'game start' positions, because it would be too painful to manually add the pieces to the board because of the massive amount. You can easily add or subtract pieces in these positions by right clicking on a piece or square. These positions are playable games, and should make it much faster to set up the pieces you want to play test, rather than setting up from an empty board.
