Shogi (将棋, shōgi, English: / ˈ ʃ oʊ ɡ i /, [1] Japanese:), also known as Japanese chess, is a strategy board game for two players. It is one of the most popular board games in Japan and is in the same family of games as Western chess, chaturanga, xiangqi, Indian chess, and janggi.

In shogi, castles (Japanese: 囲い, Hepburn: kakoi, lit.: "enclosure") are strong defensive configurations of pieces that protect the king (Japanese: 玉)..

This is a more aggressive strategy since the bishops may be exchanged at any time during the opening.
