"When a piece occurs in both tai shogi and maka dai dai shogi, it moves and promotes the same way." Betza's funny notation has been included in brackets for easier reference, with the extension that the notation "xxxayyy"K stands for an "xxx"K move followed by an "yyy"K move, not necessarily in the same direction. Larger numbers of 'legs' can be indicated by repeated application of 'a'. Directional modifiers on continuation legs must be interpreted relative to the previous leg, where 'f' means 'continue in the same direction'; default is 'all directions'. The default modality of the final leg is the usual 'mc', but on non-final legs also includes a hop over an obstacle at their end-point, provided the path does not bend back onto itself there. Other (combinations of) modalities must be written explicitly. U denotes the "universal leaper", a piece which can jump to any square on the board except the one that it is on.
