What I do not enjoy in chess is that many pieces that can cross the whole board in multiple directions.

In shogi, lances and knights only move forward. Gold and silver generals move one tile at a time.

There is 1 bishop and 1 rook per player and no queen. And as a result pieces are not constantly crossing the whole board.

Pawns are more consistent too. The move forward, one tile at a time. No conditionally diagonal moves or 2 tile moves or en-passant.
