Shogi - Japanese Chess
Shogi is the Japanese version of Chess and some believe the most complex of all traditional Chess variants. The fundamental difference is that when pieces are captured they can be re-entered onto the board playing for the opposing side. This brings Japanese Chess a great advantage over other forms of chess in that draws are a mercifully rare event.
