Shogi (, shgi) (, [oi]), also known as Japanese chess or the Game of Generals, is a two-player strategy board game in the same family as chess, chaturanga, makruk, shatranj, janggi and xiangqi, and is the most popular of a family of chess variants native to Japan. Shgi means general's (sh ) board game (gi ). * The earliest predecessor of the game, chaturanga, originated in India in the 6th century. Shogi in its present form was played as early as the 16th century, while a direct ancestor without the drop rule was recorded from 1210 in a historical document Nichreki, which is an edited copy of Shchreki and Kaichreki from the late Heian period (c. 1120). * Shogi was the earliest chess variant to allow captured pieces to be returned to the board by the capturing player. This rule is speculated to have been invented in the 15th century and possibly connected to the practice of 15th century mercenaries switching loyalties when captured instead of being killed. |
