Yeah, I will. It really takes a lot of work, but I want to show these wonderful games to non-Japanese Shogi fans out there! And I want them to enjoy this fascinating game, Shogi.
Kinda twelve years later, but thanks for this, this is the only non-japanese content I have been able to find, and it is indeed a very interesting game.
@HIDETCHI I don't know if this comment ever reaches you, but I'm watching this video again after many years and with the new found knowledge about shogi history, I think it's a pity that you didn't mention in this video, that Hanamura was the first person ever to become a professional player as an amateur without entering Shoreikai. I never knew. It doesn't get talked about that much, especially in the english speaking shogi community. I don't think many people even know. Even the circumstances under which he managed to do this are rather curious, as supposedly during matches that were supposed to determine whether he becomes a pro or not, he was leaving the playing room to play oicho-kabu, a traditional japanese gambling card game in the next room, while his opponent was thinking about his move.
This is the first Shogi game I've seen. It was mentioned on another video as an enjoyable antidote to chess having too much theory and memorisation now. No doubt it would take quite a long time to learn and properly understand the game. I love a lot of Japanese culture- the films of the great Mizoguchi Kenji and the golden age of the 50s especially, the art of Hiroshige, Hokusai, Harunobu, the novels of Murakami Haruki....
If you just block with G*3c, sente will get the turn to make the next move. But if he drops the Gold after the Dragon has approached to 2c, the Dragon has to move away. (Sometimes we call this "to rebound a piece") So, in that case, gote will have the turn to make the next move. So P*2c is a tactic that earns one move by the sacrifice of a Pawn.
Well, he resigned because N*8f is a fatal blow, and he has no chance of winning. If you take it (Px8f), either Px8f or L*8g (or maybe D-6i) brings Hanamura's King into a hopeless situation, and he has no effective way to attack Oyama.
well, because like only the lance the rook and the bishop are able to move more than one field, the king has the best move set of all the lower pieces. basically the lance doesnt seem to be used that often so the rook and bishop are the only pieces who are really cappable of attacking more than 1 piece or pinning pieces.
Could perhaps explain a little more the idea behind blocking with the pawn (8:22) and then the gold? For instance, why is it not better to block with the gold without the pawn? Thank you. Excellent videos, by the way.
Can you explain why he resigned? Does he feel like he just does not have enough attack strength anymore, or is there actually a tsume or brinkmate? Love these videos!
Because if he takes the knight it gets taken with the pawn, then the pawn get taken by the pawn, then the pawn gets taken by silver, then Dragon to i7, then I dunno
Been playing chess for 8 years and the entire time I thought shogi was the translation of chess in every aspect but I was wrong it's alittle similar to crazy house chess.....
+Karan Sekhon I found it on /watch?v=Zohs20azcUc named Re:Kinder OST Cherry Blossom Room. Not sure if its the original source, but at least its something :D
It's not that bad after a couple of games with a cheat sheet. It's a bit more confusing with the promoted pieces. Pawns arre smaller than knights and lances and generals are smaller than the king, bishop and rook. They are all the same size on computers.
I'm still a novice at shogi so can someone please explain why Hanamura submitted when Oyama placed his knight at f8? Surely Hanamura could have done something to get rid of that knight?
Raun Gaming I think there was probably no way to take the knight in such a way that could stop checkmate. The defenders of the king would be moved, and oyama had too many droppable pieces to make it all work out
I don't always understand you the first time, and I've never really.. I don't know anything about Shogi, actually. But this is interesting, I like this a lot. You're pretty cool, thanks for uploading. :)
Yes, you resign when you're sure that you've lost. You don't wanna keep playing in vain when you know you'll lose, right? So we seldom see professional players playing all the way to a checkmate. Yeah, you can say it's something about dignity as well.
I dont like the optical design of shogi in general, they should have made it with different colours like chess to better overview the figures. And also without different colour squares on the board its much harder to keep track of attacking paths, like following a diagonal is unnecassary straining. They could simply mark the promotion in different way just by atteaching something to the figures or something like that, and having the backside with the opposite colour for dropping. Really a cool game, but the design for figure distinction is just inferrior to chess imo, practical gameplay is less comfortable and just seems overall more confusing. Maybe they could improve that in a western version.
I'v been playing for about 3 months, I started with an app which allowed me to have English letters on the pieces. I would alternate between the two every other game and learned quickly which was which. I ordered a physical set after a month or so and they have sloped sides so you can easily see which units are yours, which solves the issue you pointed out. Plus having more pieces to keep track of and potentially have to replace is a hassle. I occasionally play Western Chess with family members, but it doesn't scratch the itch for me after playing so much Shogi. I suggest getting it on your phone and take the first few games slowly against the computer, its great.
Yeah, I will.

Can you post another shogi played by foreign players?
Hello..Finally i've found this music, after seven years of searching...
daniel edward please, have you found the music of the game kimura vs habu ? i m searching since 3 years at least ^^ thanks
What is the music’s name?

It is such a pleasure to watch your videos! Fascinating games and clear explanations

not anime? xd
lol
I started to learn about shogi because of Shikamaru and Asuma sensi
Shogi looks good I just wish the pieces looked more distinguishable from eachother.
On LiShogi you can change the icons to more recognizable Samurais and stuff, it's pretty cool.
@@TommyLikeTom I forced myself to learn the kanji, so now I can recognize the pieces decently well... It feels more authentic
Shogi for me is a difficult version of chess but it is exciting to play.
I love this game. It's much more like real war due to the constant reinforcements. So much to think about.
I am learning a lot trying to predict the moves and playing along on the shogi board, thanks Hidetchi
Fascinatings, i am delirado com isto 🦆🦽
This game is so difficult to me. The idea of pieces appearing anywhere is just too much for me to calculate ^^

Interesting, and beautiful. Thank you.

I liked how kings look like more active ones than in ocidental chess, but the dropping of pieces was very confusing :(
well, because like only the lance the rook and the bishop are able to move more than one field, the king has the best move set of all the lower pieces.
basically the lance doesnt seem to be used that often so the rook and bishop are the only pieces who are really cappable of attacking more than 1 piece or pinning pieces.
@@mauer1 knight and silver forks are huge though
Is this Japanese Chess?
Music's so Relaxing. |-)
Hi.
Check out lesson#28 of my "How to play Shogi" series.
Nice game, how can I improve my shogi skills?
wait.....you can bring your pieces back in shogi at any time?
how the fuck do these games even end
by checkmate :) And actually the games played to gain the title of Master last 2 days :)
HAHAHA you'd be surprised how easy it is to make mistakes in this game. Damn level 30-something out of 100 AI was a nightmare to beat without hints
Anyone see the captions for this? It's hilarious

Thank you very much for your explanation, Hidetchi. also can you please tell me what is this background music you're using?
Can someone please tell me the music being played in the background?

+syruss877 thank you soo much
+Karan Sekhon No problem, I was searching for it too. It's a very nice tune :)
all pieces looked the same to me .how do I learn the kanjis ? without knowing the language ?

hi, thanks for the videos!
and.. i'd like to know if there are any good servers where i could play shougi online..
What is the name of the program? Does it play SHOGI well or just view saved games?
I'm still a novice at shogi so can someone please explain why Hanamura submitted when Oyama placed his knight at f8? Surely Hanamura could have done something to get rid of that knight?
Raun Gaming I think there was probably no way to take the knight in such a way that could stop checkmate. The defenders of the king would be moved, and oyama had too many droppable pieces to make it all work out

do they play that fast?
No,each of them has 6 hours plus boyomi

if only i could read japanese...
