the only problem of this game is the difficulty to invent a chess set for
play. currently it can only be played on computer.
the difficulty is :
first, pieces can change color
second, when pawn promotes, say, to a queen, you need to remember this
queen is not a real one and when it is taken, it goes back to a pawn.
In shogi there are no such problems because sides are differetiated not
by
color but by the orietation it is on a board. secondly, if a piece is
promoting, there is always only one choice, not like a pawn in crazyhouse
that can promote to 4 other pieces. therefore the 2nd problem is simply
solved by flipping the piece over.
