Rules

No check/mate, win by capturing opponent's king. You can also drop as in Shogi, but no drop restriction. Dropped pieces are unpromoted. Some pieces can promote on the last row. On your turn, you can either make a Chess move or Ultima move, or drop a piece from your bench. No castling/en-passan. Pieces only promote when making a Chess move.
