About the game
Minishogi is a modern variant of shogi. The game was invented around 1970 by Shigenobu Kusumoto of Osaka, Japan. The rules are nearly identical to those of standard shogi, with the exception that it is played on a 5x5 board and a reduced number of pieces, and each player's promotion zone consists only of the rank furthest from the player.More from (Web published)
