I'm at a loss how I felt about the video. But it has something fascinating. gta sa stands for Grand Theft Auto San Andreas which seems a videogame. Anyway, the game is Suzuki Style Ishida-ryu Sanganbisha though it's hard to follow since there are no vertical and horizontal lines to form each square.

The following video of shogi for chess players was uploaded on YouTube. It's using "International Pieces" and for beginners and/or novices.
Here is the duplication of the description of this video by the author.
This video is the first part in a series of videos that will introduce Shogi, the Japanese form of Chess, to Chess players. This first video introduces some Shogi equipment that is suitable for Chess players who don't know any Japanese, namely my Symbolic set, and it explains why Shogi uses wedge-shaped, double-sided pieces. It does not cover all the rules or even how all the pieces move. I will cover these subjects in subsequent videos.
