No its not.This is the Japanese form of Chess, it's WAYYYYY more complicated than normal chess.
You can play this on Clubhouse Games also.
Q~
But I've played it in that Club games or something and it was like playing chess again...Are you kidding?
Shogi has 21 pieces, Chess has 16.
Shogi also has a very unique system for promoting pieces.
There are so much more strategies possible in this game.
Also with Chess if you get check, you have to move you king to safety.
With Shogi, this is not the case, your opponent could rape the king and win without noticing you went into Check.
