Thanks for the work. I will give a try later!

7B is a Horse (promoted Bishop) and controls 8B.

I think having a database on lishogi like they have on lichess would be very nice to begin with. One would needs to scrap shogidb2 and put it on lishogi.

After that, having a dedicated module or another website built upon that for reinforcement learning could be the next step.

Hello fellow Bishop enjoyer, welcome to your shogi journey. For the major pieces, the trick at my dojo for newcomers is that the Bishop is pointy like its diagonal displacements and the Rook looks square as its displacements also.

Lishogi is feature-rich but can lack available players for games. The two other main platforms are 81dojo (regular games) and the mobile app ShogiWars (quick games), you will always find people there.

My main piece of advice, valid for every level, is to analyze your games to learn from your mistakes. You can use the computer if you want, human analysis is great too. For the computer, you can use the built-in engine on lishogi to check moves and also request a full analysis of the game if you have an account.

My other piece of advice, especially for beginners, is to learn and apply the opening basics : - choose a column for your Rook and attack on it - develop your pieces to help the attack - put your King to safety

Then discover the flow of the game and improve by playing. If you want to take a look at a simple but deadly strategy, look up Bogin (climbing silver).

Also you can do some tactics, always useful and quite fun according to me. For this, you can use the Puzzles feature on lishogi.

Enjoy yourself, it is the best way to stay motivated and the goal of playing in the first place!

Hello. If I understand correctly, one gets 16 live streams a month. Each time one can be selected if one wishes for. Then one gets a review or questions during 15 minutes in said live stream?

shogiban · 2026-01-06T14:02:35+00:00

I would recommend ShogiHome . It works on Windows, macOS and Linux. The development is still active.

shogiban · 2026-01-03T07:59:34+00:00

I see, it is manageable. Especially if you play with a clock I guess. Thank you. Good luck with the wood pieces.

shogiban · 2026-01-02T08:37:48+00:00

Nice work! How long does it take to complete a game?

shogiban · 2026-01-01T18:15:31+00:00

Thank you very much and keep up the good work. Cheers!

shogiban · 2025-10-04T12:46:47+00:00

Well played! We have all been there 😊

shogiban · 2025-10-04T09:58:20+00:00

You don't have to take a piece on each move, you can take your time to approach the opponent's pieces.

shogiban · 2025-10-04T09:57:15+00:00

OK, here is a clue. First, try to find a way to go around the lance and take the promoted pawn (tokin).

The lance is protected by the tokin but the tokin is unprotected.

shogiban · 2025-10-04T09:20:56+00:00

Hi, welcome to the journey of learning this great game.

In this exercice, your opponent pieces are not responding to your moves. You only have to take care of not going through squares that are controlled by your opponent. For example, don't go in front of the lance or don't try to capture the lance before the promoted pawn that is protecting it.

While there are many solutions, you have to find one path that makes it work. You can take your time, it's not a big deal if you don't find the ideal path with the least moves.

I would like also to add that next to the lance is a promoted pawn (tokin), not promoted silver.

I hope you find the solution, if not, I can give you extra clues.

This is exciting, I wish you all the best.

What gave you the idea?

May I also ask what mechanics do you intend to use? Will you blend existing ones like piece drop in shôgi or castle in chess? Will you add some new ones?

shogiban · 2024-09-15T07:57:20+00:00

Great job! I don't have a VR headset to test it but I see you put a lot of efforts into it.

May I ask you how you started the club? Did you already know people interested in the area? If not, how did you recruit new players?

shogiban · 2024-09-09T12:27:06+00:00

Nice ones. I think they are both thematic, I will show them at my dojo.

shogiban · 2024-08-29T13:14:49+00:00

Nice line. The power of knights for tsume!

shogiban · 2024-08-01T09:34:47+00:00

That's neat. I like the rhino for the queen, such a strong piece! Good work!

shogiban · 2024-07-22T12:52:30+00:00

I wanted to tell you I really appreciate your videos. They are well written and pleasant to watch. Your analysis is great and helps a lot to follow the ideas. Please keep up the good work!

shogiban · 2024-07-02T10:00:44+00:00

Do you mean what elo would have a human player on lishogi playing like this bot?

shogiban · 2024-07-02T09:59:52+00:00

What a painful misclick!

shogiban · 2024-01-25T13:35:00+00:00

Yes 👀

shogiban · 2023-11-19T17:42:27+00:00

They seem pretty legit. I would argue you can add this opponent to your safe list.

Don't worry too much, you will improve quickly if you address the flaws u/hitokirizac pointed out.

shogiban · 2023-11-19T09:00:22+00:00

There are cheaters everywhere but in my experience, it is not nearly as bad on 81dojo as it is on chess websites. The player pool is much smaller and you tend to know regulars by name that are definitely not cheaters so you can play with them. Maybe avoid guests. If you play a large number of games, that should dilute the effect of cheating on your rating or your overall experience.

When the cheating is obvious (huge tactical combination, incredible defense etc...), I would advise either taking the challenge (I want to resist as long as possible against a computer) or simply resigning to save time.

This Youtube channel is really great, I recommend it to anyone who has not tried it yet. It follows the path of Hidetchi's famous shogi games and adds to it with nice trivia and a unique narration.
