A tile bearing the cassia horse character.
Also known as: Keima piece, Cassia horse, Shogi knight
The shogi knight, jumping two squares forward and one to the side, and only forward.
Jumps two squares forward and one to the side, and cannot move backwards or sideways at all.
Contexts: History
Has only two possible destinations from any square, against a chess knight's eight, so it is the piece whose movement differs most from its Western namesake.
Contexts: History
A five-sided pointed shape smaller than the generals, carrying two glyphs on its front and the promoted gold glyph on its reverse.
