Kyoto Shogi is a Shogi variant played with specialized pieces on a 5x5 board. Its most unusual feature is that every move ends by "promoting" (flipping) the piece moved.
The pieces in Kyoto Shogi are non-standard pairings of standard Shogi units:
Tokin / Lance
Silver General / Bishop
King
Gold General / Knight
Pawn / Rook
Rules for dropping are the same as in the closely related game, Microshogi.
