I agree that it`s not in the forefront. It seems to carry an image of being more complex and requiring more effort and thought than shogi, go, or mahjong. It doesn`t, in my opinion - Shogi, go, and chess are all pretty equal though I hear that mahjong is supposedly a bit easier due to the luck aspect.

Mahjong is probably the most popular out of those games. I think I`m the only person I know who can`t play mahjong.
