Synopsis

Shogi, also known as Japanese chess, is a two-player board game in the same family as Western chess, chaturanga and Chinese xiangqi. This is the most popular variation of a chess family originating from Japan. Shogi means "general".
The game's earliest predecessor, chaturanga, appeared in India in the 6th century and spread from China to Japan, where it gave rise to a number of variations. Shogi in its current form was played as early as the 16th century, while a direct ancestor without the "fall rule" was recorded from 1210 in a historical document Nichureki, which is an edited copy of Shochureki and Kaichureki from the late Heian period.
