Cannon Shogi is a chess variant invented by Peter Michaelsen.

The game combines many of the features of shogi (Japanese chess) including shogi-style drops and promotions with the tactical elements introduced by having a number of pieces with powers modelled on the cannons of xiangqi (Chinese chess) and janggi (Korean chess).

The many cannon-powered pieces make for a very exciting game with a particularly explosive opening!
