  10. Quiz

    1. How many pieces in shogi?
    2. What is the strongest piece?
    3. What is the diference between shogi knight and chess knight?

    Thank you for the lesson.

  11. So I’ve heard a theory that the reason for the upper characters on the back row pieces (lances, knights, silvers, golds, and king) was to help denote they’re rank, using kanji for precious materials and spices. So it goes: jewel, gold, silver, cassia (an expensive spice), and incense. I’ve heard people express confusion over the use of the words “cassia” and “incense” for the knight and lance, but it was most likely done to convey the ranks of the pieces. Both kings were originally labeled as “jewel general” but one was changed to “king general” in order to mark which player was the superior/elder player or had the second move.

  12. i tried to play on lishogi and got my ass handed to me, and recomended me this channel. this game is fun and you explain it extremelly well.

  13. thank you, this video was very helpful

  15. Huuuu can't wait to play shogi.. looks like a lot to take in at first. Especially the fact that the squares are all of same colours and the 'dropping' of pieces let's go at it 📣

  24. Even though I’m 13 years late to the party, thank you sincerely for making these videos. My friends have tried to teach me, but they lack your ability to explain the concepts and your patience (and I understand because they want to just play). Your English is very good by the way. Far better than mine <3 😀

  25. Hello I want to know about the best website for playing shogi online with japanese shogi players? Please tell me about it.
