Dai-Ryu Shogi. Large Shogi variant with new pieces. (9x16, Cells: 144) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

None of the promoted pieces have their moves described. Unless I'm hopelessly blind, which I find I am a lot, but I doubt I could miss something in a page of text after looking through it a few times.

I am assuming that the propmotion is similiar to Ryu Shogi--the promoted form has the same move as the piece has in the third zone, but doen't lose the third zone move if it returns to the first or second zone.

A hyperlink to Ryu Shogi itself would be useful, to allow viewing of the
rules of zones, promotion, demotion, and drops (I assume that demotion
applies as well).
	I am certainly warming to the Gold and Silver dragons, and will mention
them when I get round to an article on more complex asymmetric radial
pieces, along with a sample of 3d extrapolations.
	The idea of pieces which are rotations of each other -
Centre/Left/Right/Reverse Warrior - is interesting. I am considered the
idea of rotated generals, replacing that suffix with coward (completely
reversed), dexter, sinister, and in 3d chief and base as well.
	Am I right in thinking that the Leaping Dragon moves as a Knight in the
usual sense? If so it would be less confusing to use the name Knight for
that and some other name for the piece that gets promoted to it. I do not
know of any previous variant with both pieces, although I have been
planning to add some as 12-rank versions when I next update Mitregi.

The assumption by the unnamed individual is correct.  Also, a link to Ryu
Shogi where it is referenced in the rules would be a very good idea.

Also, I will not be renaming any pieces in this variant.  See, I had this
thing called a THEME going.

On reflection I may have been looking at it wrongly. Perhaps the real inconsistency is promotion to a piece that is so much weaker than the Dragon pieces of the original Ryu Shogi. Gaining the whole Knight move in the second zone and the King's move as well on the third, and having the crowned piece as promotee, would be consistent with the rules for Bishop and Rook.

I had actually thought about that, but eventually decided against it. As it is, the Knights/L.D.s are still the only leaping piece, and besides, I think I've already added enough power to the original Ryu setup with the Platinum Generals/Dragons.

Will you add a ZRF for this game? If so, when?

How do the Dragons move?

All dragons move exactly as they did in the third zone before promotion. Promotion to a dragon effectively allows third-zone moves to be made outside of said zone.
