One strand of restriction occurs in my Mitregi, in which a player can have no more pieces of a bound type on each binding than were on that binding at the start of the game. For example each binding strats with two Bishop, one per player, and so neither player can ever have more than two Bishops on one binding. When I first posted tha variant I had the harsher restriction of only as many as that player started with on thzt binding, but on seeing the community response I decided to relax it to the current rule. This is mainly because the slacker rule recognises that a player could end up with all the pieces of a given type, making it reasonable to be able to deploy all on each binding that started on that binding. It is also more consistent with Shogi itself, in which each player starts with one Bishop (incidentally starting on the same binding) and a player who manages to get both Bishops is free to deploy them on one binding.
