Hi @nelk114,

Absolutly, Mandatory promotion means deferring promotion isn't allowed in this version of the game.

Have you tested with the (lack of) pawn‐drop‐checkmate rule?

Sure :) As you'd expect, this rule has the effect of shortening the duration of games, when the opportunity arises.

My current opinion is that the removal of this rule, which prevented you from checking out with a parachuted pawn, makes the game simpler and at least as enjoyable.

In fact, I can't think of any good reason to keep the shogi constraint.
