Hasami shogi
   

Played with Go stones on a goban. The purpose of this game is to get five stones in a row.

Within the first three lines of the board, in the 8 squares made by the first 9 lines, are placed 8 stones of one color, as in a chess or checker board. As with chess there are four rows of squares between the players.

To play, Black first slides a stone into the four middle rows, and then play alternates.

If a player gets stones on two opposing sides of a stone of opposing color, the stone is captured and removed.

Example Captures

An opponent's piece may be captured and removed from play if it is flanked orthogonally between two of the player's pieces, or trapped in a corner of the board. All the marked white pieces can be captured.
