Rules of Tsume-Shogi
(Translated from the website of the Japan Shogi Association into English by Hanimi-chan)

1. The purpose of this puzzle is that the attacker side (Sente) checkmates the King of the king's side (Gote).
2. The attacker side must check on every move. (The king's side must take off check.)
3. The king's side can use all pieces as piece in hand except for pieces on the board, attacker's pieces and King.
4. The king's side must do your best and escape to be longer game.
5. The king's side must not drop no-use interposition.
6. Other than that, the rules are the same as for standard shogi. Two Pawns, Pawn-drop mate, a piece that can never be moved, perpetual check (repetition with successive check) are illegal.
