Japanese numerals - Large numbers. Following Chinese tradition, large numbers are created by grouping digits in myriads (every 10,000) rather than the Western thousands (1000): Examples: (spacing by groups of four digits is given only for clarity of explanation) 1`0000 : 一万 : ichi-man 983`6703 : 九百八十三万六千七百三 : kyū-hyaku hachi-jū san man, roku-sen nana-hyaku san 20`3652`1801 : 二十億三千六百五十二万千八百一 : ni-jū oku, s ...

The basis of the shakkanhō length measurements is the shaku, which originated in ancient China. The other units are all fixed fractions or multiples of this basic unit. The shaku was originally the length from the thumb to the middle finger (about 18 cm, or 7 inches), but its length, and hence the length of the other units, gradually increased, since the length of the unit was related to the level of taxation. Various different shaku developed for various purposes. The unit now most widely recognized as a ...

Names also have numerological values. These values are in numerical terms.< ...

Drops are the most serious departure from International Chess. They entail a different strategy, with a strong defensive position being much more important. A quick offense will leave a player's home territory open to drop attacks as soon as pieces are exchanged. Because pawns attack head on, and cannot defend each other, they tend to be lost early in the game, providing ammunition for such attacks. Dropping a pawn behind enemy lines, promoting, and dropping a second pawn immediately behind so that they protect each other makes a strong attack; it threatens the opponent's entire defense, but provides little of value if ...

The method used in English-language texts to express shogi moves was established by George Hodges in 1976. It is derived from the algebraic notation used for chess, but differs in several respects. A typical example is P-8f. The first letter represents the piece moved: P = pawn, L = lance, N = knight, S = silver, G = gold, B = bishop, R = rook, K = king. Promoted pieces have a + added in front of the letter. e.g., +P for a tokin (promoted pawn). The designati ...

Games between players of disparate strength are often played with handicaps. In a handicap game, one or more of White's pieces are removed before the start of play and White plays the first move of the game. Note that the pieces removed at the beginning of play have no further part in the game: They are not available for drops. The imbalance created by this method of handicapping is not as strong as it is in chess, because material advantage is no ...
