The basic rule of the dai shogi

• The goal of the game is to checkmate (threaten with unescapable capture) the opponent's king and taishi.
  Unlike shogi, you can not use the captured piece.
  If the opponent have Taishi, you need to capture both Ousho/Gyokusho and Taishi for win.

The rule of Taishi

• 
• There is not Taishi in the begging of the game.Taishi(太子) is promoted from Suizou(酔象).
  Taishi means princess. Taishi has the same roll of Ousho/gyokusho,
  if there is Taishi, the game is not lose even if Ousho/gyokusho is capture.

The rule of Shishi

• 
• Since Shishi（獅子） is the expecially powerful and key piece,
  there are special rules to make game fun by preventing from capturing both side Shishi
  ( Actually there is no record for Shishi rule of Daishogi.
  This appication applies Chu-shogi rule.)
• 
• There is one Shishi in the begging of the game.
  When kirin（麒麟） promote, it change to Shishi.
  There is one Kirin in the begging of the game.

  After Kakugyou(角行) capture Shishi(①) , it can't capture Shishi by Keima(②)

• 【 Shishi can not caputure the supported Shishi】

• ①That Shishi is supported by Kakugyo, that is called the supported Shishi.
  （ Kakugyo is just example it can be any type that move to Shishi square.)
  ②In this case Black Shishi can not capture White Shishi.
• 

• 【the shadow supported Shishi】

• The center Shishi looks like being enable to capture right-top Shishi.
  But Kakugyo is indirectly suppot to Shishi.
  So it can't get.

  Upper Shishi is supported by Hisha but lower Shishi can capture upper shishi because its is Shishi's additional capturing.
