Death Match #4

[Bandage Man]

Jinho , Yuram



Twelve Janggi is won by capturing the opponent's king piece.

The playing board has 4 columns and 3 rows for a total of 12 squares.

The 3 squares closest to you will be your territory.

Both players will receive 4 different pieces and each piece will start in their designated positions.

Each piece may only move one space in their labeled directions and their roles are as follows:

General - Starts on the right side of your territory. Can move vertically or horizontally.

Minister - Starts on the left side of your territory. Can move diagonally.

King - Starts in the centre of your territory. Can move vertically, horizontally and diagonally (i.e every direction)

Man - Starts in front of the King. Can only move forward. When the Man enters the opponent's territory it will become a Feudal Lord*.

*Feudal Lord - Transformed from a Man. Can move in all directions except for diagonally backwards.

When the game begins, the starting player will move 1 piece by 1 square.

When a piece is captured that piece will become a captive and captives may be used as your own piece starting from the next turn.

However, you must use up a turn to place the piece back on the board. You may not place the piece in enemy territory or an occupied square.

If you capture a Feudal Lord, it reverts into a Man.

The game will end if you capture the opponent's King, or you are able to survive a turn with your King in your opponent's territory.

The player with more garnets will move first.

Here are the pieces and board.

[Jinho]

I will be available from Tuesday to Friday starting at 5PM.

Also if you're a bit crazy, at 6AM but we should finish before 10AM

[Yuram]

oh cool this is nice to wake up to

well I guess Tuesday then bc I'm working every night anyway so may as well do it sooner rather than later. ideally we start at like 8:30? but could do from 5 I guess but if I'm slow or distracted it would be my boss telling me to stop playing some weird Korean board game

[Bandage Man]

So you guys want to do Tuesday?

[Jinho]

I can do it at 8:30. I might be a bit slow because that's when I'll be at work and even if there won't be a boss to yell at me, phone is bound to call and things to break.

Shall we lock it for tomorrow 8:30PM?

[Yuram]

happy with that

[Jinho]

Bondage Man?

[Jinho]

Just so you know, I will probably still be able to make it at that hour, but I will be sleeping in the next ~8 hours so don't panic.

[Bandage Man]

8:30 it is!

[Jinho]

I guess this is happening, this is the day I claim my weekends back

[Bandage Man]

I'm free from any time but I'm assuming we're still good for 8:30

[Bandage Man]

Jinho, Yuram, this will begin soon.

To make your move, simply re-post the entire board updated with your latest move. Ensure you use the preview button (you can simply drag and drop pieces around to make it easier, and this will guarantee you don't make a mistake with your moves.

You will not be able to take back a move once making it, and the other player's turn starts immediately after you have made your move.

Yuram, you will go first. You are playing as Green.

Jinho, you will be playing as Red.

You may begin when ready. You will each have 3 minutes to make your moves. Take any longer and you forfeit your turn. Ideally you will make your moves quickly but once we reach 30 minutes we'll drop to 2 minutes per move as a maximum assuming that there is no problems with the board. I'm willing to be somewhat lenient if there are issues but a fast game's a good game.

are you ready?

[Bandage Man]

Jinho, Yuram has just informed me that work has become very intense and she could be 15-20 minutes late, is this ok with you?

[Jinho]

I think a 5 minute turn at least at the beginning should be allowed. At least for the first few rounds. It would be a shame to put more effort into making the move than into thinking the move. But I am willing to go with the 3.
