Inspired by Kyoto Shogi, Renge Shogi, designed by Michael Sandeman, is played on a 7x7 board. Each player has seven pieces, from left to right along the back rank: Silver, Pawn, Gold, King, Gold, Pawn, Silver. Whenever a piece moves (except the King), it alternately promotes and demotes:
Silver - Lance
Gold - Knight
Left Pawn - Bishop
Right Pawn - Rook
As in Shogi, players may drop captured pieces on any empty space, but with either side facing up. There are no restrictions on where players may drop pieces; for example, you may mate with a pawn drop and have two pawns on the same file.
Players may also drop pieces from the opponent's hand. The only restriction is that you may not mate by dropping from the opponent's hand.
