The ancient board game of Shogi, or Japanese Chess, has been played for hundreds of years.
Shogi is the king of chess games, and is arguably more complex and abstract than international
chess or Xiangqi (Chinese chess). However, few books have been published in the English language
on Shogi strategy. This Shogi book demonstrates optimal strategies, verified by modern computer
Shogi is the king of chess games, and is arguably more complex and abstract than international
chess or Xiangqi (Chinese chess). However, few books have been published in the English language
on Shogi strategy. This Shogi book demonstrates optimal strategies, verified by modern computer
analysis. The book is heavily illustrated with pictographic chess board diagrams, similar to diagrams
in international chess books. These picture pieces are easier to visualize than classical Shogi Japanese
character piece labels. Excessive use of algebraic notation is avoided, making it easier to follow game
annotations, and to evaluate positions. This book is an easier way for English speakers to learn this
complex board game, that has a tactical language quite different from that of international chess or
Chinese chess. Topics include: ● Shogi Rules and Notation systems
● Opening Game Theories and Pitfalls
● Castles - Yagura, Anaguma, Mino, Elmo, etc.
● Middle Game and End Game Tactics
● Infiltration and Dropping Tactics
● Numerous Checkmate Problems and Solutions
● Annotated Games Illustrate Rules and Tactics
● Hundreds of Illustrations - An Actual Board is Not
Needed to Follow Annotated Examples
