SHIO-GHI, the See also:Japanese See also:game of See also:chess
.
Like Go-See also:bang, the game of the See also:middle classes, and Sugorochu (See also:double-six), that of the See also:common See also:people, it was introduced from See also:China many centuries ago and is still popular with the educated classes
.
It is played on a See also:board divided into 81 squares, nine on a See also:side, with 20 pieces on each side, arranged on the three ,See also:outer rows
.
The pieces, which are See also:flat and See also:punt-shaped with the smaller end towards the front, represent, by means of different See also:inscriptions, the 0, or Sho, See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)

.
All these pieces, like those in chess, possess different functions
.
The chief difference between chess and Shio-ghi is that in the Japanese game a piece does not cease to be a See also:factor in the game when it is captured by the opponent, but may be returned by him to the board at any See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time as a reserve; and, secondly, all pieces, except the King and Gold General, are promoted to higher See also:powers upon entering the last three rows of the enemy's territory
.
This possibility of utilizing captured forces against their former masters and the altering values of the different men render shio-ghi a very difficult and complicated game
