The game is related to queen and pawnless chess
random chess.
The game is played on a normal chess board, but
the figures/stones are positioned like in go,
which makes 9x9 fields.
The game begins as in queen and pawnless chess,
that means you first put your figures/stones on
the board one piece after another like in go.
the movements of the figures are like in chess,
however it has shogi's drop rule.

the win condition is to checkmate the opponent's
king.
the pieces/figures are seven for each player :
2 rooks, 2 bishops , 2 knights and one king

would like if someone is interested in this game
and would like to help me with the implementation.

i suggest for the design of the pieces :
a straight line for the rooks
an X for the bishop
a malteser cross or four dots for the knights
and a simple dot for the king
