Shogi is "Japanese chess". It was originally introduced to Japan from China in the 8th century.
The rules of shogi are similar to the rules of chess. The board, however, is divided into 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.
