The aim of MacShogi is to create for the Macintosh environment a full-featured Shogi database application.
All Shogi rules are implemented and fully tested and you can`t perform illegal moves.
The diagrams feature provides several formats :
· text only pieces and board for sending emails
· tendo shogi font only, almost the same as in Tony Hosking`s great books
· using both tendo font and text, this one is useful to make the number of pieces correctly printed. This is a good format for your book, magazine or article.
Here are some key features of "MacShogi":
· Enter new games and save them in the psn format
· Enter comments
· Enter and replay variations
· Load libraries and replay games
· Sort the games of a library in any order (sente`s or gote`s name, grades, event, results and dates)
· Choose an even game or a handicap game (from sente to eight piece)
· Create diagrams, you only need to copy and paste them in your magazine, book or article
· Play over internet or a local area network
