Wonder what is the name of the chess game they played in Naruto?
If you’re one of those who enjoy the Naruto series, you’ll want to check out these Naruto sets!
See below for info about Naruto Chess Sets, Figures, Shogi, 3d Models & Boruto Chess!
Naruto Chess
Naruto Chess – is a way of playing a chess game but with figures that are equivalent to naruto characters (scroll down to see a sample naruto figures).
You can then feel like your favourite anime character and fight like they would do in the anime, but on the chessboard with your friend. There’s even sets available online – check below list where we’ve listed some good ones (and ranked them by popularity).
Naruto Chess Pieces
Although you can find some actual naruto themed chess sets ( read on to check them out) – most of what is available will be naruto chess figures – with no board.
Naruto Action Figures
Not entirely sure why these are called chess, but they are one of the closest things to what you can call a naruto chess set. There are different pieces, 6 in each collection from Megahouse.
The Naruto chess piece is a great way to show your love for this iconic anime series.
The pieces are accurate and detailed, just like in the show!
you have Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi on one side, and Sasuke, Gaara, Shikamaru on the other side, guessing Naruto would go as a White King, and Sasuke Uchiha for Black King. Rest is up to your imagination 😀
- affordable
- high quality
- carbon copy of the main characters

Kakashi and Naruto Pieces
Random Naruto Figures
Similarly as above, not necessarily a chess set, but with some creativity could be used as such 😀

Chess in Anime - Naruto
Wondered what is the name of the game Shikamaru played with his father and Asuma? in the Anime Naruto? It is Japanese version of Chess called Shogi.
Which is harder Shogi or Chess?
Shogi in some sense is like chess , its being called a japanese version of chess. Shogi is considered much more complex than chess. Main difference is that you can re-enter the pieces that have been captured before, and put them almost everywhere on the board. Shogi has many more pieces than chess too
How to play Shogi?

A small note here, they do not necessarily play chess In Naruto. They play the Japanese alternative of chess – Shogi. Based on skills or presumed skills in playing shogi – fans have created a list of top candidates for Chess Master
