Sankaku Shogi is played on a field of forty-four triangle cells.
Each player has a force of thirteen consisting of five Soldier,
four Cavalry, two Chariot, one General and one Emperor.
SOLDIER steps one orthogonal. May capture to the second orthogonal
if the first is vacant. Mandatorily promotes to General upon
performing any capture. Cannot capture the Chariot.
CAVALRY leaps to the second orthogonal. If this cell is occupied by
a friendly piece, it performs an addition leap in any direction
without returning to its starting cell. It is permitted only this
one additional leap, and this second leap must be to vacant or
enemy-occupied cells. Mandatorily promotes to General upon
performing any capture.
CHARIOT slides orthogonal. Cannot be captured by the Soldier.
A Chariot can also "run down" an opponent Soldier, capturing it
and continuing its slide whether to a vacant or enemy-occupied cell.
GENERAL steps to any cell which is adjacent, whether by side or point.
EMPEROR leaps to any cell on the playing field. It may not capture an
opponent Emperor which is defended.
All captures are removed from play for the remainder of the game.
The game is won by capturing the opponent Emperor.
Repetition of position merely to avoid a capture is not allowed. |
