Para-shogi

This new fairy condition takes of course inspiration from the "Japanese chess", Shogi, modifying some rules. Firstly, the chessboard, 8x8 (the Shogi chessboard is 9x9). The differences in comparison to classical chess are the following ones:

1. A player's promotion zone consists of the furthest one-fourth of the board – the two ranks occupied by the opponent's pieces at setup. When a piece is moved, if part of the piece's path lies within the promotion zone, then the player has the option to promote the piece at the end of the turn.

2. A Knight promotes to Bishop, a Bishop to Rook, a Rook to Queen, a Queen to Knight. The "normal" promotion through pawn in eighth rank is illegal. The pawn can't reach the eighth rank. A white Pa7 can't be moved.

3. Captured pieces are retained in hand, and can be brought back into play under the capturing player's control. On any turn, instead of moving a piece on the board, a player may select a piece in hand and place it on any empty square. The piece is then one of that player's active pieces on the board and can be moved accordingly. This is called dropping the piece, or simply, a drop. A drop counts as a complete move.

A drop cannot capture a piece, nor does dropping within the promotion zone result in immediate promotion. Capture and/or promotion may occur normally, however, on subsequent moves of the piece.

A mere exemple of this new fairy condition:
