 == Is the ""Kifu"" recording system used to record Shogi games? == 

 Kifu is the system for recording games of Go.  Since pieces never move in Go once placed on the board, Kifu records a game by drawing a diagram of the board in the end position and numbering each piece to show on which move it was placed.  The Kifu topic page was included in category Shogi, and said that it was also used for Shogi, but I see nothing on this page about it and I don't see how it would be applicable to a game where the pieces move about. 

 I've removed all references to Shogi on the Kifu page, but on the off-chance that it is in some way connected I'm leaving this request for more info here.  Maybe Kifu is Japanese for ""game record"" or something and is a general term used by Shogi players?  If it is relevant please update the Kifu page and its talk page accordingly, and the Shogi page as well; if it isn't please confirm here?  Thanks.   "
