Shogi - Japan's Game of Generals

Our journey continues in Japan, where the game of Shogi, also known as Japanese Chess, has been a popular pastime for centuries. Shogi is a game of pure strategy, with no element of luck involved.

Played on a grid of 9x9 squares, the objective of Shogi is to checkmate your opponent's king. Unlike Chess, however, Shogi allows captured pieces to be returned to the board under the captor's control, adding an extra layer of complexity to the game.
