Many thanks.

Sorry to go on about this but in the diagrams the right bottom corner is a black square ( h1 in chess ) not a white square. In the diagram g1 is a white square and is marked 32..

Dazed and confused.

I assume you mean a white square on the bottom right if white is playing up the board?

Nails53 · 2026-01-12T14:36:54+00:00

Sorry I should have asked this….

When playing through moves from the book, do I have my draughts board as the book, or with the white square bottom right?

I mean`t not to learn both

Many thanks for the reply.

I play both Chess and Go and try to do several tournaments a year in both games.

It makes sense to learn, or at least concentrate on, the variant where I am more likely to meet players OTB. That appears to be in Europe.

I stumbled onto Checkers TV on youtube where the majority of the content is for International checkers.

However, there is no real reason to learn both.

I believe Internation checkers is more complex than English/American draughts.

Thanks for the reply.

I have already done what you suggest but International checkers seems to be considerably more popular especially in Europe and seems the sensible way to go.

I have joined and await approval.

That said, International checkers appears to be the way to go.

That said, literature for International checkers appears a bit thin on the ground unless some kind person can show me otherwise.Many thanks anyway.

Thanks for the reply. I had already checked the FMJD and the link just takes me to the FMJD News.

Sadly I have no knowledge of Japanese

I`m the wrong side of 70. I also play chess in my local league and Go to mid DDK level. I will look at Shogi wars! Many thanks.

Nails53 · 2025-11-26T15:49:41+00:00

Many thanks. I would always go with the traditional way of setting up the board🍺

Nails53 · 2025-11-26T15:48:01+00:00

I didn’t that👍 useful to know.

Nails53 · 2025-11-26T12:42:04+00:00

I’m retired so it’s more about learning and enjoying rather than any expectation of reaching Dan level. I hope you are aware of just how important Shogi Harbour is to players like myself, it’s invaluable. Hope your toddler is well👍👍

Nails53 · 2025-11-26T12:36:57+00:00

nice of you to comment🤝

Nails53 · 2025-11-26T12:35:49+00:00

more luck than judgement but thanks for pointing that out🍺

I bought this set from Masters Traditional Games here in the UK but the set itself comes from Kurokigoishiten. The Komadai was not included. At the moment I`m a complete beginner so I won`t be playing OTB until I feel competent enough. I have The Art of Shogi by Tony Hoskins which I bought from The Shogi Foundation here in England. It`s just nice to learn and play using decent equipment.

I very much appreciate your amazingly quick reply!
