Shogi - Japanese chess is a game with a long history in Japan. The goal of the game is to capture the opponent's king. The playing pieces for the two players are distinguished by the direction of the pointed sides, rather than by colours, indicating who they currently belong to.

Compared to chess, Shogi has charming differences and additional rules that make the game interesting. An important difference is the capture and reuse of playing pieces. This means that the number of pieces does not decrease during the game, which means that the game can turn at any time for the player. The second fundamental difference compared to classical chess is the promotion of playing pieces, which gives them more movement options. The playing pieces become stronger and the game more appealing.

This game is not only for skilled chess players looking for new challenges, but is also suitable for beginners.
