    If go is “round chess”, I feel like chess should be “pointy chess”.

    Round chess is hard. But fun.

    The wild thing about this is that Shogi would make a much more reasonable middle picture than Go.

      Chinese chess is round chess. Shogi is pointy chess. Chess is icon chess.

      Aren’t the pieces normally rectangles with a point?

        The non-pointy sides are also sloped. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi#/media/File%3AShogi_Koma_Ryoko.jpg

      True. Shogi is played with chess clocks but from what I know about Go, it doesn’t make much sense but I might be wrong tho.
