+A game of shogi is won by capturing the opponent's king. In general,
+this is done by checkmating the king: attacking the king in such a way
+that the king cannot be defended no matter what the defending player
+moves. Note, though, that there is no rule that requires a player to
+defend a king which is being attacked. However, if he does not defend
+his king, the opponent is entirely free to capture it on the next move,
+thus winning the game. As in international chess, in practice most
+games end by resignation when one player realizes that he cannot escape
+checkmate.
