MrXX2018

Movement of all pieces also can be found here:

https://playstrategy.org/variant/shogi

Pieces (Betza's in italic):

King (K) K

Rook (R) R

Promoted rook (+R) RF

Bishop (B) B

Promoted bishop (+B) BW

Any other promoted piece (+S/+N/+L/+P) WfF

Gold general (G) WfF

Silver general (S) FfW

Knight (N) ffN

Lance (L) fR

Pawn (P) fW

Notation is standard European (1-17 for ranks, a-q for files, +check, =promotion, @ placement)

Rules:

All pieces have same color, so their direction used to difference them (like 'Pieces face center'). Let's name the sides: North (up), South (down), East (right), West (left). Notation for sides: n./s./e./w. Players start moving clockwise, starting from South. Crazyhouse chess variant rules apply (all pieces get to reserve unpromoted). Pawns of one player can't be placed on the same rank. Promotion on 11-13 ranks (and moving out from them). Last one standing player wins

Example of notation:

1.s Pe4

1.w Kb9

1.n Pe14

1.e Kp9

Promoted rook is also (more technically) Dragon King, and promoted bishop is also Dragon Horse.

I’ll join.

Also, what about the points for each piece?

Note: a knight is considered to be more than a lance.

No points, last one standing. I have no idea how to arrange pieces values

Yes, sorry for misreading. However, for future information, I do think you sorted them from most valuable to least valuable, since knights are worth more than rooks.

Yeah, that's right, but I sorted in that order as it was in the article (1st link)
