This was suppose to address Shanghai Palace Chess- somehow it went to the wrong subject heading.... Anyway, in Regard to Shanghai Palace Chess's game courier, I don't think that the courier change buys us much. Now, for example, if the player with Red looks at Blue's Shogi pieces he will still have to mentally flip the vectors. The Silver is the most likely to be confused since it looks like it can go back one space instead of forward one. I imagaine the Blue player will have the same problem. L. Lynn Smith might have a solution as he handled this problem in his ZRF. Meanwhile, I am checking on having a Shanghai Palace Chess tournament. I have a nice trophy picked out. Should the event be approved I will post more information regarding it and the intended prize. It is probably best that the courier 'flip situation' get resolved before any tournament would get started. Best regards to all...
