OTOH, when the royal piece then jumps away like a Knight it looks nothing like Shogi. So this is an extremely dubious claim. <p> Crazyhouse drop rules will never really look like Shogi. Crazyhouse revolves all around dropping Pawns on 7th rank and promoting them. In Shogi Pawn drops are usually not possible because of the 1-Pawn-per-file restriction. It is that rule that really causes the main difference in character between Crazyhouse and Shogi games.
