NAME

Games::Shogi::Tori - Piece descriptions and initial configuration for Tori Shogi

SYNOPSIS

  use Games::Shogi::Tori;
  $Game = Games::Shogi::Tori->new;
  $piece = $Game->board()->[2][2];
  print @{$Game->neighbor($piece);
  print $Game->english_name('c'); # 'Copper General'

DESCRIPTION

Tori Shogi is the smallest Shogi variant known to be played in antiquity. Like most of the early variants its pieces are named after birds, with no really exotic pieces among them. The Left and Right Quails are asymmetrical, and a few pieces ave some slightly odd moves (slide forward, move one or two squares backward), but there aren't any real surprises.
