TheChessPolyglot

Welcome to Illion’s chesses site!

This site is dedicated to all kinds of chess types and variants: xiangqi, go, shogi, makruk, orthodox retrograde problems…

…with the very glaring exception of atomic chess, which you can find at my other site.

For the moment the site is not completely polished, but you can still navigate using the “Variants” or “Tags” categories.

Some of the highlights you may be here for are:

• My series on shogi history
• A translation of the Japanese tsumeshogi Wikipedia article, with information on composers, rules, themes and more
• A translated list of xiangqi proverbs
