Usage

Placing a Shogi Piece

\koma<column><row><piece command>

Taken Pieces (Mochigoma)

\mochigoma[<number of this piece>]<piece>

Please be noted that:

• different pieces should be declared separately.
• An upright piece command represents that this piece is captured by sente (black side).

Shogi Piece Commands

All Shogi Piece commands are named after a "CSA" way, which is a notation method proposed by Computer Shogi Association.

The general idea for naming piece is listed below:

• All pieces is named in CSA notation method.
• For ally (upright, black side) pieces, enter the command ALL CAPITALIZED. (e.g. \FU, \OU )
• For opponent (reverted, white side) pieces, only the second character of the command is in lowercase. (e.g. \Ka, \Ry )

For more details for piece command, please refer to the PDF file.
