About San-San Shogi

Devised in 1980 by Natsuhiko Nagumo. Played on a 3×3 board. At the start, only the two kings sit on the board (at diagonally opposite corners) — every other piece begins in hand, ready to drop from move one.
Promotion is available only in the single farthest rank. Everything else — double pawns, pawn-drop checkmate, drops with no legal future move — follows standard shogi rules.
