I would imagine being a chess grandmaster would be a slight advantage in xiangqi and shogi because they are pretty similar, and these games would be easier to learn for a good chess player. Go, on the other hand, would probably be harder as it is much more different.
Has there been any experiment where top chess players play these games against players of these games with no prep except learning the rules?
Greetings!
I'm happy to announce version 3 of my Dobutsu Shogi engine. The main new feature in this release is localisation into German and Latvian.
If you are interested in contributing to this project (e.g. by adding translations for additional languages), please get in touch!
So I came from chess. I'm only around 1200. I just learned the piece movements, some promotions, still don't 100% understand the rules.
However, using chess tactics (forks, reveal attacks, pins, etc) I'm about to beat 2Kyu (highest so far) pretty consistently.
Do the ranks mean nothing? Are these bots?
I'm quite confused. I KNOW I have to be bad at shogi because I'm not a genius and suck at chess so..... pretty confused on how I could beat one of the highest ranks.
Hi all,
I have small shogi board and have read the introduction to Shogi book by Leggett and have the Tsume book by Gene Davis. I am however looking for more. A book to learn strategies or a puzzle book, I would love to know of any book that is available in either English or Dutch and if there is truly such little choice even in French or German. I live in the Netherlands if that is relevant for where you can buy the book. I have not been succesful in my search, hopefully some of you have good suggestions, thanks!
Hi everyone, I tried checking the sidebar and searching for an answer to this question, but couldnβt find one. I misplaced my copy and all thatβs on Amazon now are third-party copies going for USD $65+. Does anyone know where else this book is sold?
Not sure wether this is allowed here but Iβve found myself interested in playing other boardgames apart from chess.
Hello, shogi lovers I want to have the kifus of best games (or all thankfully) of Habu and top 100 shogi games ever played by whoever master something like that in whichever way pdf, online, download I don't mind thanks a lot in advance.
I have a cheap folding board and have been looking to upgrade. As for pieces I've been able to find them, but its been impossible to find a non-folding wooden shogi board under 100. I have found a few but they all ship from Japan which adds quite a large shipping fee. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I have released the first major upgrade to my multi-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux) Shogi GUI "Shogi Explorer": https://www.chadfield.com/2022/01/shogi-explorer-v2-released.html
What is Shogi Ladder? A teaching ladder is a system where you learn together with an opponent one rank above you and an opponent one rank below you.
How does it work? If you choose to participate in a given weekend sign up for the weekly ladder (sign-up closes Friday 23:30 UTC). You will play two even rated games, and will analyze them together with your opponent afterwards. This post-game analysis is key, it is the teaching/learning part of the teaching ladder.
How is it going? The 81Dojo club now enjoys over 294 members from over 35 different countries! It is the premier English-language club on 81Dojo. New players have been joining every single week; the club welcomes players at all levels. Last week's ladder included 14 participants from 9 countries, ranging in rating from ~900 (10k) to ~1550 (1d).
Come join us! We are a community of friendly players who are serious about improving and enthusiastic about learning. What makes the teaching ladder unique is that everyone in the ladder is committed to post-game analysis in a welcoming and constructive atmosphere--it is not a tournament, but a learning tool! If you have the time to play a couple of games this long weekend (Saturday-Monday UTC) please consider signing up!
Could anyone help me and tell me how it works cause I'm trying to play it so I can get the absolute shield or should I not bother trying to get it
So, I'm new to shogi and I'm still learning, but I wanted to play with friends on a real board. Poorly, you only get the ones out of plastic, so i decided to make a wooden one by myself. I already got some experience in woodworking, but I don't find any measures for lines and the complete thing. Does anyone have such measures? It would be very helpful!
Hello- I'm trying to construct a more easily digestable version of the Wikipedia article on Taikyoku Shogi. The article neglects to state at what rank on the board a piece is eligible to promote on- would anyone here know?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
When I was visiting my sister and her family for Thanksgiving, I brought my Switch and clubhouse games, and my 10 year old niece instantly took to minishogi.
So today I brought over the gentosha "step shogi" set which has a 5x6 board on the back, and also the board from their Kyoto shogi set so we could also play the version she was more familiar with.
While she did refer to the booklet as a reminder for how the pieces move, I was impressed by how little a barrier the single-kanji pieces were to her, and she wasn't put off by the booklet being in Japanese, because the characters are distinct enough for her to recognize quickly.
While I'm definitely not a skilled player, it was fun to be able to advise why a move she was trying might be good or not optimal, and if I grimaced when I made a bad move that I didn't notice when I was planning it, she was quick to notice why I regretted my poor play.
I really like shogi when I played it on my Nintendo switch and it felt kind of like a chess 2 what do chess players think of shogi?
Im trying to remember the title of a chess or shogi anime where the pieces kinda come to life and they battle each other out it was pretty cool from what I remember (its not no game no life)
Hello everyone,
I just recently joined the thread as Iβm currently learning SHOGI. I started last year. Between then and now Iβve been playing the computer in SHOGI Demon on Mac, reading various Wikipedia articles, reading books and watching YouTube videos (HIDETCHI to be specific). I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on how I can continue my learnings. Thanks in advance!
So I've been playing chess for about 3 years now and I have recently heard of shogi. Ive tried playing it on an app on my phone but I always try to play this game like chess. Is there any why to play shogi without trying to play it like chess?
I want to play some shogi pc game
