Kyoto Shogi

  • 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.
