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.
