Pocket Shogi Plus

The Game is inspired by Shogi. The concept came from Pocket Mutation, and advice from catugo. The program coding is a clone of code that Fergus designed. The pieces are almost identical to Shogi, except for three. The Lance promotes to a Vertical Mover. The Vertical Mover moves like a Rook in vertical movement only, and can step one space sideways.

The Knight promotes to a Standard Chess Knight.

The Golden general promotes to a Platinium General (new). A Platinium General has the same movement as a chess King, except that it can not move directly backwards. This is known as the drunken Elephant in Chu shogi.

There is a pocket. Any piece can be moved into the pocket except for the King. The movement into a pocket and out of a pocket takes one move each.
