Note

Inspired by Minihouse, made by @MrKheese. I thought Minihouse was hard to win so I made this. It still has the same strategies as Minihouse, as one move is all it takes to lose the game. 45 seconds will make it more fast-paced. Like the regular Minihouse, it has so many tricks, tips and traps that people fall for. According to @Coolwind7, the computer can go through all possible moves quickly, if the opponent plays horribly, then one player can get advantage up to +20-30. I have done about 30 testing games with exactly 10 different players. Hope you like it, and I hope @bsrti likes it because he is the best minihouse player and @MrKheese because he made the original!

Here is the screenshot, if the CGA renders it incorrectly:

Reason: A very interesting gameplay! However, there is an issue that in the starting position there is a glitch with 'promotedFrom':'g6' that cannot be directly removed and gives white a great advantage. Without that FEN4 tag, the gameplay is highly deep, varied, interesting and balanced.

A great game to warm up your calculation skills. Doesn't take too long to complete, so iterating through strategies isn't time-consuming. Make sure not to tilt: Tilting is a horrible mistake, and may cause your play level to drop.

What exactly does the 'promotedFrom':'g6' do?

'promotedFrom':{'g6':'P'} means that black upon capturing white wazir gets a pawn in the bank, not a wazir. This effectively means that white wazir was obtained from a pawn promotion and should go in bank as a pawn.

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but by directly editing the fen4 / pgn4 it is possible to make 'promotedfrom:' {} a custom piece, which means you can capture something and something else would enter your bank because it was 'promoted'. For example you might capture a knight and make a bishop enter your bank.
I can see this feature being utilized as a new dynamic, for better or for worse.
