In reply to the query from Enrico Tognoni:

Kyoto Shogi is a 5x5 variant. Every time a piece moves it is reversed. The
pieces don't have the usual promotion values. Instead, the pieces are L-+P,
S-B, G-N, R-P. Despite being so small, the game is very interesting. Normal
shogi thinking does not apply.

List member Mike Sandeman is writing some excellent articles on Kyoto Shogi
in *Abstract Games*.
