Welcome to the world of shogi :)

Thank you for these tutorials, you explain them very well. I love how you don't overcomplicate it while still referencing more nuance and depth. Also great to know Japanese terms.

Glad to hear :)

Thanks for the video. It’s really interesting and makes you ask for more! Besides, thanks also for including the Japanese terms. 😊

Thank you, for the video, I usually play Static Rook, but i am gonna be trying the 4th file + Mino.

The name of the rook in the rook opening sound like bishop

Thank you for this series! Just started learning Shogi after long time playing chess...I find Shogi to be really beautiful and I prefer the drop mechanics instead the chess mobility. Your videos are very informative and you are helping me a lot understanding Shogi mechanics!

I'm loving this so far, but I am completely new to shogi. Every time I try something new the computer just hands me my backside on a silver platter xD

Keep trying :) if you need help we are waiting on the discord!

There is a kind of a gap between the previous video and this one, I don't know how the king got to those places. In my games the king is static (static king...) until I feel a threat coming or getting an actual check. I have no idea why would I move the king otherwise. This looks good but in an actual game I have no clue how to get to a castle situation, etc. Should I move on and it will be revealed in the next videos?

I admit I didn't do those videos too well. I would like you to see castle videos more like a dictionary. I should probably do really REALLY simpler videos on those topics. Please ask questions if you need! Also nowadays theory doesn't consider sitting king (king on original square) as a mistake. Ureshino opening is one example of that later in the opening videos!

​@@ShogiHarbour Thanks, you really advanced the Shogi community. I saw games where the king almost didn't move, but they knew why they won't move it. Not that I am good at any aspect of the game, but I have a huge gap between openings and defending vs attack. My attacks sometimes were the perfect move and I also got positive human feedbak on them, whilst my defending looks like a real time third rate strategy game from the early 2000s. By the way, I have learned today that you are a 1-dan (with a story!) 🙃

It is normal. First you learn attack, gaij confidence. Then you learn that attacking alone doesn't work in shogi because of counters, so you learn defense! It is natural. Thank you :) I was thinking of making videos about my story too!

@@ShogiHarbour I read some of the blog and I think you definitely should as it could bring more people into shogi. Thing is, attack comes "naturally" - how do you learn openings which are much more abstractic? I realized the importance of defence from the start, as I know chess and have the same problem there.

Once you know how to attack, it will become easier to imagine how your opponent will attack. You can watch professional games to see how they balance both! Also, in shogi you have to realize there aren't solid defences, only good delays. Because pieces never die. So we have to learn both fast attacks and how to defend (delay) them so we are one move faster.
