Shoji training (part 3)

"Hey have you ever been interested in sho-" rei didn't even get to finish his sentence you just said yes "Hey what about if you teach me how to play shoji" you ask "ok well here are some things about shoji" says rei. He pulls up his glasses and takes a deep breath "Shogi was the earliest chess variant to allow captured pieces to be returned to the board by the capturing player.This drop rule is speculated to have been invented in the 15th century and possibly connected to the practice of 15th century mercenaries switching loyalties when captured instead of being killed.The earliest predecessor of the game, chaturanga, originated in India in the 6th century, and the game was likely transmitted to Japan via China or Korea sometime after the Nara period.Shogi in its present form was played as early as the 16th century, while a direct ancestor without the drop rule was recorded from 1210 in a historical document Nichūreki, which is an edited copy of Shōchūreki and Kaichūreki from the late Heian period" says rei fast "WOAH WOAH WOAH take it slow i have no idea what you just said you sound like my teacher trying to explain how to divide fractions"you say (fun fact that is actually true i still have no idea how) "ok well lets see shoji is kinda like Japanese chess there is that" says rei "there you go something easy now it is time to practice playing shoji (8 months later) "YAYA I FINALLY DID IT I WON" you scream feeling happy "great job well bye i have to get home and sleep it is 3:23 am i have to get up for school tomorrow" says rei "awww goodnight loser and sleep" "goodnight" says rei
