Mini-Shogi must score pretty high in terms of piece-type density. It starts
out with 24%, but 4 of the 6 pieces can promote, two of them to essentially
new types. I am not sure how promotions to Gold should be counted; in Shogi
a promoted Pawn (say) is considered a different piece type than a Gold,
(with a different representation), despite the fact that it moves the same.
