Description
Kyoto Shogi is a Shogi variant played with specialized pieces on a 5x5 board. Its most unusual feature is that every move ends by "promoting" (flipping) the piece moved.
The pieces in Kyoto Shogi are non-standard pairings of standard Shogi units:- Tokin / Lance
- Silver General / Bishop
- King
- Gold General / Knight
- Pawn / Rook
Rules for dropping are the same as in the closely related game, Microshogi.
