Also see Shogi and Tori in this dictionary?

Chu Shogi is played on a 12 x 12 board and the promotion zone comprises the four ranks furthest away from each player.  It is played without drops.  The 12 x 12 board looks like this -unchequered……. 

The board is 12 cells/squares by 12, but otherwise is the same as a Shogi board.  The circular points [dots] are to mark ‘promotion zones’ and to enable you to visually divide the board up easily.  The letters and numbers are for notational purposes eg, the top right cell is A01, the bottom left is L12, and so on.   As usual, black [:A] plays ‘up’ the board, and white [:B] plays ‘down’ the board.   The files are lettered 01 to 12 and the ranks are lettered A to L.   There are 144 cells/squares on this board.  There are 21 MPs/mps in the ISP and 8 types of promoted piece [listed in the tables below], making a total of 29 types of MPs/mps used in Chu Shogi.
