Interesting cross over between decimal chess, shogi, janggi, xiangqi.

On the critical side, I find the rules of castling confusing: sometimes referring to the Jade, sometimes to the King. I guess they are applicable to both but a strict reading permits to doubt. So why two different names, apart from the exotic touch?

Also what the point to define an Apricot and a Whole if they are exactly identical to a Queen, or I missed something? I like the idea of promoting non-Pawn pieces, but not sure that promoting a BN and a RN to a Queen is so nice as these pieces will loose their knight-part.

Anyway, interesting game
