What I appreciate the most in Shogi is the rule of using the enemy's pieces, after you capture them. As you know, in Shogi there is no difference between Black and White. I own a Shogi chessboard, but I cannot find people to play with.
In Shogi there are different rules. If a piece gets to the back three ranks on the opposite side of the board it can promote. The king moves normally and does not promote (The animal was a lion) The gold general moves like a king except diagonally backwards (The animal was a dog) The silver general moves like a king except sideways and directly backward (The animal was a cat) The knight moves normally in the L shape but only going forwards (The animal was a rabbit) The lance moves forward only any number of spaces (The animal was a hedgehog or armadillo I think) The pawn moves only one space forward and captures the same way (The animal was a chick) Any piece that promotes (except kings, rooks, and bishops) moves like a gold general. And rooks and bishops keep their original movement adding the kings movement. And the king cannot promote. And there are crazy house rules (you can drop pieces)
Shogi is so much fun. I played chess as a kid but shogi was the first chess like game I spent time reading more deeply about various openings. Even met up with people locally and played for a while. Then chess has become more of n interest recently. Compared to shogi chess pieces are super OP though. But the counter to that is that you can resurrect captured pieces which makes forced sequences complex and interesting. Also there is no instant castling. So castling correctly pretty much requires a PhD since you’ve got to put all your pieces in place to defend while also constructing a clever little path for the king to tuck himself in cozily. The different castles even have fancy names. About the characters… you actually learn to distinguish them pretty quickly.
Wow, the first game of shogi wasn't a mistake, it was a great idea for a movie! I'm a strong shogi player (1st dan) and I still had a lot of fun watching it. You are at a good point to challenge yourself, e.g. to the first 5 wins. I'd really like to watch it! Stronger players will be curious to see how you're doing, and weaker players will be drawn to this exciting game. DO IT ! Good luck and I'm looking forward to the challenge! Ps it's also a good idea to do the same in xiangqi (Chinese chess)
Would love to see you try Xiangqi (chinese chess), it's more similar to international chess but with some interesting mechanics (e.g., the cannon piece, knights that can be blocked, the general being restricted to the palace, etc.)
3:45 duck chess x 10 oh - note that each piece has some dots on it, giving some indication of how it moves. 6:51 welcome to modern warfare - there be paratroops. perhaps you remember Siamese chess?
i used to play so many chinese chess variants (not board games but still a board thingy), would be interesting to see those in a vid. chinese chess is a classic would be interesting as its pieces are somewhat similar to chess. My favourite is another one though, but no idea the name of it.
I'd say you did great for knowing nothing to start. Most sites (not that there are that many) let you use normal chess pictures. It is a great game just when I grew up no one around that played (same for Go). That was Corpus C seems like you were in NY expect a lot diff there.
I'm hoping Shogi will double the amount of Elephant Gambit content on this channel.
Yes, more Shogi! I need to learn obnoxious gambits in this game too!
I was your opponent and didn't know the rules either which made it even funnier for me. Thanks for the content!
Him: I’ll just copy his moves and hope he knows what he’s doing.
You: I’ll just copy his moves and hope he knows what he’s doing.
I had so much fun tuning in to your commentary every day. Thanks Jonathan!

I built a Shogi set in the 1970s (I was about ~12yo) because I was fascinated by it. And couldn't convince any of my friends to play it with me.
I would love if you started posting shogi content
I would love to see your entire Shogi learning journey!

That is hilarious when you change it to animals.
I loved seeing you play with the animals! Please more!
Was really fun to watch I'd love to see more shogi!
i would be interested shogi!
Never knew I´d be interested in Shogi, but here I am.:D
Finally the shogi content I’ve been waiting for.

Ive played a lot of shogi since seeing this. Might be my new favorite game
"My name is vampire chicken" weird parents but ok

I have played it some months ago, also not knowing much, and its really cool. Hope you bring more.
Rules of shogi is actually quite simple. But strategies are much more complex than chess
And just like that, after just one game, he's a Shogi grandmaster :)
The drop rule is what makes Shogi so different from Chess, no doubt.
I need more Shogi! This reminds me of the first time I tried it!
I am very interested in this game, and know nothing of the rules either. So would like to see more videos featuring it :)
Do more Shogi please! Also another Go-Chess collab with Clossius would be awesome

I still have no idea how to play, but this was so hilarious. Yes, more.
Shogi is nice. Keep playing!
Crazyhouse chess next? Or crazyhouse 960 on pychess
I think in shogi you spend the first dozen moves setting up a castle position around your king maybe
Yes, there are different kinds. In my opinion Shogi is more defensive.
SUPER ELEPHANT!!! 🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒

duck chess x 10

more shogi!! looks like fun !!

Very intriguing.
Oh no! Another elephant gambit, oh.....wait
I’d love to see some dubious Shogi gambits! 😂
MORE SHOGI CONTENT!
I don't know why this is so funny. It's like playing chess with a child who keeps changing the rules during the game
MORE!
Please do play more shogi. It's awesome
There is an elephant piece in Chinese chess
Fun video. Shogi is a great game.
Ow, I love shogi!
Heck yea shogi
Ngl I’d be in if he learns Shogi because Shogi needs more TH-cam presence. Though I am a Shogi player who does chess on the side so I am biased
Hi! I’m a Shogi player on Team USA and a Shogi streamer. If you’d ever like to try out some more Shogi, let me know and I can help you out!
I'd say you did great for knowing nothing to start. Most sites (not that there are that many) let you use normal chess pictures. It is a great game just when I grew up no one around that played (same for Go). That was Corpus C seems like you were in NY expect a lot diff there.
That was funny 😃
try go next
he did have one lesson a rly long time ago
Is this gas station simulator?
Yeah, Jonathan really did poorly on this one. Time pressure and streaming do things to people =D But shogi is a novelty, I would happily watch more =)
Try Chinese chess (xiangqi)
Lol!
Xiangqi is better than both. 🖕🏼
:)
