SHOGI

TRADITION Go

Shogi is "Japanese chess". It came to Japan from China in the 8th century. The rules of shogi are similar to the rules of chess. The board, however, is divided in 81 instead of 64 fields, and each player starts with 20 pieces (king, shogun, ...) instead of 16 as in chess. Unlike in chess, pieces that were conquered can be reused by the opponent in shogi. Winner is who forces his opponent in a situation with no way out. National shogi championships are held annually.
