GNU shogi is a program that plays shogi, the Japanese version of chess,
against a human (or computer) opponent. This file describes how to use
GNU shogi and also gives background information about the game of shogi.

Since xshogi invokes gnushogi, most players will just type "xshogi"
and start playing.

Disclaimer: I use the personal pronouns "him", "his" etc. to refer
to a shogi player regardless of gender. That's easier than writing
"his or her" all over the place. I don't mean to infer that women
don't play shogi; in fact shogi is very popular in Japan among women as
well as men.
