Chess Dial. Play starts with Shogi, then mutates into Xiang Qi, then FIDE Chess, then Shogi again! (9x10, Cells: 90) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

It looks to me like any piece promoted in the Shogi setting would become a queen in the FIDE setting, but only if it survived ten turns of being an advisor. Advisors are so weak that players might avoid promoting pieces in the late Shogi setting to avoid having them.
