I had read about micro shogi & thought it might be one of the more compelling small variants, so I took a little time this weekend to make a set. The biggest pain was getting all those end grain pieces used for the board roughly flat, but I think it was worth the effort, crude as it is.

AnopkaHey @lichess I really like the puzzles a lot. I wonder though if there are any plans on implementing puzzles for the variants like Crazyhouse, Atomic, Horde, Racing Kings, and so on as well.
