Chess but nerf
chesnerfedyay
My first variant: Chess but nerf (By Henryred1304) (Can someone help me upload SVG file please) Ro (Rook): Can move up to 4 squares horizontally or vertically. Bis (Bishop): Can move up to 4 squares diagonally in any direction. Que (Queen): A combination of Ro and Bis. Ki (King): Can move 1 square horizontally or vertically, but cannot move diagonally. Horsey (Knight): A combination of the normal Knight and Ki. Its additional Ki-like move cannot capture adjacent pieces. (A little buff because i like Knight😛) Pawn: Works normally, but cannot move two squares on its first move and En passant is disabled.

Xiangqi VS Shogi Alt
xiangqi_vs_shogi_alt1
Xiangqi vs Shogi. an extra soldier on Shogi side was added on h6 to limit cannon(similar to my another variant, but the extra soldier was on another grid). The Drop rule and The Flying general rule were both enabled. Both perpetual check and stalemate result in a loss. It is noted that some pieces' names were changed due to duplication of names. Xiangqi: K -> W(Wazir) H -> O(hOrse), P -> I(soldIer) Shogi: R -> F(Flying chariot)
