Starting configuration for Medieval Japan | Generals move one square either diagonally or forward. Japanese pawns capture forward, not diagonally.
Japanese pawns do not promote normally. If any Japanese piece moves into the final three rows (determined in the direction that your pawns go) it can move like a king until it is captured, in addition to its normal move. First appearance: New to version 1.0.
Influence: Shogi. Tags: Promotion power |
