Sanjangjanggi

Sanjangjanggi (三將象棋, 산장장기) is an janggi variant with an unusual rule. In sanjangjanggi, the king can escape check only by capturing the checking piece with the king in the next turn. Thus, double check is an automatic loss for the side with the checked king since the king cannot capture both checking pieces in a single move.김응술 9단, 《월간축산 5월호》, 농민신문사, 2009, 154쪽
