I tried to make some search after reading the article linked above and found the following information exist in the website of Swarthmore College.

Shogi club
Shogi (Japanese chess) is said to be derived from the game of chaturanga, played in ancient India, which spread throughout the continent of Eurasia and developed into a variety of related games. In the West, it became chess, in China xiangqi. In shogi, you can capture your opponent's pieces and drop them on any place on the board and promote your own pieces by destroying your opponent's defense. Come to our weekly meeting and try it out! No prior experience with Shogi or any other type of chess required.
