Shogi is a Japanese board game, also sometimes called Japanese chess or the game of generals. it is played in a similar way as normal chess and the goal is to check mate the king. most differences between normal chess and shogi are miner changes, but it has two rules that majorly change the way you play this game. Firstly, captured pieces become the property of the capture and can re-enter play by being dropped onto almost any vacant square. second, In shogi, all pieces except the gold general and the king can promote, but only to one kind of piece (the character on the backside of the piece). Promotion is easier in shogi because the promotion zone is closer to the starting position of the pieces (first three rows on the opponents side)
