Chu shogi (中将棋 chū shōgi mid [sized] shogi) is a strategy board game native to Japan. It is similar to modern shogi (sometimes called Japanese chess) in its rules and gameplay. Its name means mid-sized shogi from a time when there were three sizes of shogi variants in regular use. Chu shogi seems to have been developed in the early 14th century as a derivative of dai shogi (large shogi). There are earlier references but it is not clear that they refer to the game as we now know it.
