They are both high school sports shows focusing on both personal and team growth. The sports introduced in both shows are traditional and recreational for the most parts, and their competitive nature isn't popular with the general public.
The Chihayafuru series has 3 (+1 summary) movies, unlike Asahinagu's 1. This allows for Chihayafuru to cover more character depth and growth, which is fortunate.
If you feel Asahinagu was fun to watch, I'm certain that you'd find the Chihayafuru series just as exhilarating, if not more!
(Plus cute girls looking fierce, what more do you need ^^)

Kiriyama Rei is a 17-years-old shogi (Japanese chess) player. He debuted as a professional shogi player when he was in middle school. He lives by himself in Tokyo, because his parents and younger sister died in a traffic accident when he was little. One day, Kiriyama Rei meets three sisters who are his neighbours. The three sisters are Kawamoto Akari, Kawamoto Hinata and Kawamoto Momo. This is his first meeting with someone outside of the shogi world in many years. Having meals with the Kawamoto family brings warm feelings to Kiriyama Rei. As Kiriyama Rei continues his shogi career, his interactions with his neighbours allow him to grow as a shogi player and as a person.
