As a chess player who can read Japanese, I am happy to know that Japan has its own chess version. Definitely giving it a try!

You're in for a wild ride.

Greetings from America. I make my own Shogi boards and have a collection of pieces, including Hidetchi's International picture pieces.

Hello do you have any instagram or something i can see your boards? Would you be intresting to sell one maybe? Im looking for a bigger board with bigger pices. Mine now is little small for my liking.

Very helpful! I appreciate the explanation:) keep up the good work

Your videos are the most helpful videos I’ve watched about learning shogi. You explain things so well. I am so happy I found your videos. I’ll likely have questions. Thanks for your videos.

Hi, I am from Poland and do not speak Japanese at all and have 0 kanji knowledge, however like shogi (and go) very much. I think for non-japanese to start is indeed to start with graphics and when you feel already comfortable with the rules, movements and strategy it is good to switch to one character pieces to get more familiar with the tradition and start benefiting from various tutorials. The best way to me to learn is to do exactly what children do at school when learning to write; rewrite one line of each piece character on a paper and you will be able to memorize. Not so easy for rook and dragon, but manageable :)

Yes, that's true, learning everything in one go can be very overwhelming. Wow, you are learning to write them as well? I still can't write them (I can't write Chinese either) 😂😂

I remember pawns by the Nike check at the bottom. big house and little house helped a lot, as well as lamp.

I’m a candidate master at Chess but fuck am I weak at Shogi. Mainly because of piece recognition.

thanks for the help now i can understand the pieces

I am about to learn Shogi in 2021. A chess player learning how to play Asian version of chess like Qiang Xi (Chinese chess) too. A nice refresher from HIDETCHI channel.

You're not wrong. I went into it thinking "I'm halfway decent at chess. This can't be much different." I fucked up.

Ok so the easiest way to recognize shogi pieces is to learn Japanese.....got it.

I am passively learning Japanese and knew no kanji(from Shogi) yet I managed to learn pieces in 1 hour and able to recognise them instantly after 3 days. But then again I am a huge Japan otaku so its a given xd
