'Note that the Taikyoku Shogi pieces move differently than pieces with
the same name in other larger Shogi variants.'
Yes it's funny/strange they do that, either with a slight difference or
completely different.
I just noticed in Taikyoku that the King moves 1-2 squares on the queen
lines, only variant with king moving like this (i think).
Talking about limited queen line movers, Taikyoku also has these pieces ..
Leopard King (not royal) - 1 to 5 squares
Heavenly Tetrarch - 1 to 4 squares
Fragrant Elephant and White Elephant - 1 to 2 squares
i also notice the Flying Dragon moves exactly like an Alfil.
