A collection of perft values for atomic chess. Many positions from Roman Hartmann's (rocechess.ch/rocee.html) collection of regular chess perft values. (Note: castling convention used is that castling is allowed if squares that the king passes through are not attacked *while the king is on its original square*.)

As I play games on lishogi, keep tabs on development progress on the lishogi discord (and occasionally get into debates), I've come to realise that there are actually a surprising number of shogi sites aimed at an international audience.
Because I sensed a need for it, I summarise here to the best of my knowledge the elements of chess culture that are likely to stir trouble if directly introduced to shogi culture.

Although it's been a little while, I'll finally drop another article about lishogi. Just a few days ago I wrote a similar article, but it vanished due to "synchronisation" or something. But since I've noticed a few other things since then, I'll add them in as I go along.
lishogi population
Although globally the number of games played is slowly increasing, the total number is still rather small. There are still times when matchmaking is slow and it's somewhat difficult to find active users; but conversely this is evidence that there are still users who are excited to play on lishogi. I would count myself among these (whom I believe to be) Japanese people who are immersed in, and even contribute to lishogi. Contributing to the spread of lishogi within Japanese circles is also karakoro-san, whom I frequently see around and who also assists with the development of
