Ninja Chess

Ninja Chess is a miniature Chess version originating from Japan. You play it on a 6 x 6 board and the starting positions for all the pieces are printed on the board. The King is called Tonosama, the Queen Okugata, the pawn Ashigaro, the Tower Samurai and the Knight is called Ninja. When Ashigaro reaches the opposing base line he turns into either Queen or Tower, even if both those pieces are still present on the board, you can use the piece as an addition. Castling is not possible. The en-passant-rule, too, is valid in this version and you win with defeating the opposing King.
