Chess-related Historic and Regional Games
Some of these games have developed independently while others are ancestors or relatives of modern chess. The popularity of these variants may be limited to their respective places of origin (as is largely the case for shogi), or worldwide (as is the case for xiangqi which is played by overseas Chinese everywhere). The games have their own institutions and traditions.
