A) My last game will be more balanced if left special unit promotes to
chanselor and right to archbishop (because white can quick promote left
unit to chanselor, and black to shogi rook, two very strong pieces, if they
promotes by other rules, blakc will have big advantage); Or another
solution: there are no left and right special units, there are east and
west special units (and beter if east promotes to shogi bishop);

B) My question about Semedo is not answered! What is Semedo? Are it's
rules really unknown?
Let me explain it:
here is starting position:

nsksn
gpppg
p---p
-----
-----
P---P
GPPPG
NSKSN

K-king,
N-knight,
P-pawn,
S-scientist,
G-pot with gunpowder.

I read what this game was described in mediaval book on latin language. In
this book was writen what 'Pot with gunpowder moves like rook, but in
crowd moves like cannonbal'. It reminds cannon from modern Xian-qi, but
possible what it's not same thing.
Also there was writen what 'King don't attack'. What does that mean?
What king don't move at all or what?
Also in article of this game, wich i read, was writen what scientists are
probably ancestors of bodyguards from modern Xian-qi.
In this article was not described, how this mediaval book describes moves
of scientists, knights and pawns.

Maybe, someone knows more information about this game? Or it's exact rules
currently unknown at all?!
