Can I really use the pieces I capture?

Yes — that is what makes shogi different from chess. A captured piece loses any promotion, goes into your hand, and on any later turn you may drop it onto an empty square as your own. Two limits: you may not have two unpromoted pawns on the same file, and you may not deliver checkmate with a dropped pawn.

When may a piece promote, and is it a choice?

Whenever a move enters, leaves or stays inside the last three ranks. It is your choice, with one exception: a piece that could never move again — a pawn or lance on the final rank, a knight on either of the last two — must promote. Gold and king never promote.

Karaniwang patakaran: may promotion sa huling tatlong hanay, naibabalik sa board ang nakuhang pyesa mula sa kamay, at bawal ang dalawang hindi pa na-promote na sundalo sa iisang column. Nasa ibaba ang Manlalaro 1 at paitaas ang galaw niya.

Web-only extra ang shogi — ang PartyAt app ay koleksyon ng mga party game para sa isang telepono lang, mula Larong Bomba hanggang Bingo, Dice at Ruleta, para sa hanggang isang daang manlalaro.

Paano laruin

Set the 9x9 board with twenty pieces a side on the three ranks nearest you. Player 1 sits at the bottom and moves up the board.
Take turns, one move each. Every piece has its own step: the pawn goes one square forward, the rook any distance straight, the bishop any distance diagonally, and the knight jumps two ahead and one across.
Moving onto an enemy piece captures it — and in shogi a captured piece changes sides. It goes into your hand, and on a later turn you may drop it onto any empty square instead of moving.
A move that enters, leaves or travels inside the last three ranks may promote the piece by turning it over. Pawn, lance, knight and silver start moving like a gold; the bishop and rook keep their range and gain a king’s step. Gold and king never promote.
Win by checkmating the opposing king. Two drops are illegal: a second unpromoted pawn on a file, and a piece landing where it could never move again.

Paano manalo

Checkmate wins. A player whose king is attacked must answer the threat; when no legal move does, the king is mated and the game is over.
