Question

There are 6 types of chess pieces, so how many types of shogi pieces are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

A shogi variant is a game related to or derived from Japanese chess. Many shogi variants have been developed over the centuries, ranging from some of the largest chess-type games ever played to some of the smallest. A few of these variants are still regularly played, though none are as popular as shogi itself.

The drop rule, often considered the most notable feature of shogi, is absent from most shogi variants, which therefore play more like other forms of chess, with the board becoming less crowded as pieces are exchanged.
