Seireigi is ready.

Edit: I also added a vertical step move to the Running Stag to make it better at checking the King. This way each promoted piece has at least three forward moves.

Edit: I've finalized the ruleset, meaning Seireigi's rules are now set in stone, though some of the promotion names may change. Or I could include them in a bigger version of Seireigi...

Edit: I've decided to rename each promotion to its normal Shogi form until I can decide on a good set of names for them, and the board is now uncheckered.

Edit: I'm currently working on pieces for Dai Seireigi, an 11x11 game with drops that "marries" the historical LSVs with modern Shogi. I think I will keep the Seireigi promotions as they were before they changed to Promoted X, but I am still working on the Dai Seireigi promotions.

Edit: I am no longer working on Dai Seireigi, but I have finalized the promotion names for Seireigi.
