こんにちは。
「将棋」はそのまま shogi と言います。sushi や tsunami、karaoke などと同じ感じです。
ただ、shogi だけだとわからない人の方が多いと思うので、a game like chess(チェスみたいなゲーム)や Japanese chess(日本版チェス)のように言うと伝わりやすいかと思います。
ぜひ参考にしてください。
「将棋」は日本語なので「shogi」にしかならないと思います。
ちょっと説明してみました。
【例】
Shogi is a board game similar to chess.
→将棋はチェスに似たボードゲームです。
「similar」は「似ている」という意味の形容詞です。
「similar to chess」で「チェスに似ている」となります。
回答は一例ですので、参考程度でお願いします。
ありがとうございました
Both of these answers explain to someone that Shogi is a game like chess.
If you tell someone either of these answers they will know that Shogi must be a type of board game, with two players and certain tokens to move about the board.
Shogi, the Japanese boardgame, is similar to chess.
When you want to explain what Shogi is to a person that doesn't know what it is, then you can say:

-Shogi, the Japanese boardgame, is similar to chess.
