Mini-Shogi rules questions

In std Shogi the promotion zone is the furthest 3 ranks, if I understand it correctly. In Mini-Shogi, as far as I can tell from various online sources, its only the final rank.

Fine.

In this game, http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=1351532, I placed my rook in the final rank (no promotion, which is correct) and then retreated it two ranks, and was offered promotion (which I took). Is this right (I misunderstand the rules, ie. any move in the final 3 ranks after dropping onto the final rank) or is this a bug at LittleGolem (ie. the std promotion are being used for Mini-Shogi)?

Thanks,

Moving into or from the promotion area lets you promote your piece. So in this case, it was correct as you moved from the promotion area.

Aah, so if I dropped my rook onto the far rank and then retreated it 4 ranks to my 1st rank, then I would also have been offered promotion?

Thanks!

Alain

Exactly.

Thanks!
