Shogi (Japanese Chess)
When I lived in Japan, I bought a shogi set and started learning how to play. As I tried to make sense of the rules, I took a lot of notes. Afterwards, I decided to put these notes online along with pictures. I was never any good at the game but these pages should help other people learn how to play.
