There is no such thing as a """""good""""" localizer. Localization at its core is shit, and is 1000x worse when its applied to a piece of media in its entirety. "Localization" should only ever be used in rare instances, as a last resort, for words or figurative speech that makes no sense in the target language. The vast majority of dialogue in any media, whether it's anime/manga, video games, etc., is not so colorful and in need of these patchwork "fixes", contrary to the beliefs of capeshit quip enjoying faggots.
Your example is wet dog ass. Shogi is its own distinct thing, as other anons pointed out, and turning it into fanfiction by replacing it with "chess" is cultural vandalism and cultural erasure at its peak. This is inarguable except for proponents of said cultural vandalism/erasure.
