jadarite: from AbigailII: "One way to show the Eagle: arrows up-left, up-right, down. short lines up, right, left. longer lines down-left and down-right."
portugal: Different colors to go along with the different lengths would help differentiate them, too. For example, if the short lines were blue and the long ones red.
jadarite: Could you maybe make those katakana characters red, like on the chessvariants image? Typically, the left/right kanji characters are on the back side (since they don't promote) of the pieces and in red.
You will notice a (very) small character in red above each of the quails, which differy very slightly. The left has a serif'ed "I" part on the bottom, while the right has a box.
Also, you can see that only the swallow and falcon promote (to goose and eagle, respectively).
This is a very different shogi variant, with most piece movements not found in any other variants (L/R quail, pheasant, eagle, & goose).
