The chess game where pieces change roles with every move

Kyoto shogi is a modern variant of Japanese chess created by Tamiya Katsuya in 1976. This game is played on a 5 by 5 square board with very specific promotion rules. With each move, the piece played must be flipped to either obtain a promotion or return to its initial state.
