5(Japanese chess), as well as xshogi, the graphical interface to GNU
6shogi.

8GNU shogi and xshogi were originally written by Matthias Mutz
9<mutz@fmi.uni-passau.de>, have been maintained by Mike Vanier
10<mvanier@bbb.caltech.edu> in the 1.3.x era, by Luis Felipe Strano
11Moraes <luis.strano@gmail.com> until 1.4.0, and are now maintained by
12Yann Dirson <ydirson@free.fr>. GNU shogi was in turn based on GNU
13Chess 4.0, i.e. the first version of GNU Shogi was obtained by
14"simply" modifying the chess-specific parts of GNU Chess 4.0.  We
15would like to thank the authors of GNU Chess 4.0 for making the
16sources of that program available.
