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

I want to have a go at the round chess, too!
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.
Annoyed they left out pentagonal chess
True. Subtle Japanophobia is verywhere
If go is "round chess" what's stop?
