Shogi[]

Shogi ginsho

The silver general.

The Silver General is a second-class soldier. He commands respect. He is mighty. As the 5th (or 6th with promotions included) most powerful piece, the Silver General can move 1 space any direction except directly sideways or directly backwards. He promotes to the Gold General, but that piece can't move diagonally backwards, so don't jump at the chance to promote immediately.

Chu shogi[]

This piece promotes to a Vertical Mover instead.
