Shogi, often called Japanese chess, is a two-player strategy board game that has been popular in Japan for centuries. The game is played on a 9x9 grid, and each player starts with 20 pieces, including a king, rooks, bishops, and other types of pieces. The goal is to checkmate the opponent's king, placing it in a position where it cannot escape capture. A unique feature of shogi is that when a piece is captured, it can be returned to the board by the player who captured it, adding more strategy to the game. Shogi remains popular in Japan, with professional players and tournaments, and has also gained interest internationally.
