>>Shogi is much more complex.When I was in college, a friend brought me a shogi set from Japan. Andreas is right. It is incredibly complex; pieces not only promote in various ways, they can also be placed throughout the board.
Of course, my friend and I were playing so-called "minor Shogi." The "major Shogi" played by Japanese masters involves many more pieces and a few more hair-pulling rules.
