Shōgi

You play first from the bottom. Select a piece or a captured piece, then a highlighted square. P/L/N/S/G/B/R/K identify pawn/lance/knight/silver/gold/bishop/rook/king. Promotion is offered in the last three ranks and forced when required. Double pawns, dead-rank drops and pawn-drop mate are forbidden. Fourfold repetition is a draw; perpetual checking loses. Entering-king declaration requires a safe king and ten other pieces in enemy camp, with 28 points for you or 27 for the bot (rook/bishop 5, others 1; king 0; hand pieces count). A simple bot, no rated strength or clock.
