My advise is a bit too practical.

1 First move? (When you are Black)
There are a number of move choices but three moves are oustandingly popular.

A P-7f: Making a way for the Bishop diagonal.
B P-2f: For quicker use of Rook and aiming for a pawn exchange.
C P-5f: Suggesting the use of Rook at fifth file aiming directly for the king.

..To be continued.

Относно: Re: Japanese Chess vs Minishogi
AbigailII: I'm not sure why BrainKing names them that way. Personally I wish that 'japanese chess' would get renamed to 'shogi'. On the settings page, the tab for shogi setting is called 'shogi'. More consistancy in the naming would be nice.

Of course, I also wish that when one is using the japanese piece set and has the opportunity to promote, that the piece displayed above the board would also be shown in the japanese piece set rather than the 'western/symbolic' set. And that it wouldn't always say "Click on a piece you want to promote the pawn to." even if you're moving a knight, rook, bishop, etc, and not a pawn. Also, that gives the impression that a piece can be promoted to more than one promotional value (like a chess pawn), whereas each shogi piece obviously only promotes to one thing and one thing only per piece. (Hint hint Fencer)

Just curious, why is the full sized game called "Japanese Chess", while the small version is called "Minishogi". Wouldn't it be more consistent if they both either used "Japanse chess" or "Shogi" in their name?

If so, make a team of japanese chess of at

Then, challenge us or send to me an

It will be a pleasure of meeting you.

Hello,

The fellowship " Xiangqi " was modified to allow to add it various variants of the oriental chess.
That is why it changed of name and is now called "Oriental Chess".
We kept naturally the game of Xiangqi and we added the of Shogi.
For the moment, they are the two only oriental games of chess which are installed on this server. When the other variants will be created here, we shall add them in our fellowship.
Because you are interested in the game of Shogi, you are cordially invited to join us. Make the demand to the address:

It would be nice if the Shogi notation shows when a player waives promotion of a piece. I beleve this is usually denoted with the character = after the move. When replaying my games over an actual board, I've been confused by this, so I figured I'd bring it up ;)

mahavrilla: Please try the links in the page of my blog at http://shogi.typepad.jp/eweblog/2005/11/basic_shogi_inf_1.html

I think shogi FESA and USSF organizations use the rating system which is equivalent to western chess. Please refer to http://www.shogi.net/fesa/rating.intro

A professional players' association exists in Japan. They don't use rating system. They use Dan grading system.

actually, let me rephrase that response. The option says "White removes rook, bishop, both lances, and either knight", yet one cannot remove "either knight", so there is somewhat of a contradiction.

well, if that's the case, then please use the right knight handicap, as the left is almost never used.

Относно: Re: Gyokushō
ニコ: There have been arguements whether Gyokusho(玉将) or (王将) is correct at least since 17th century.

In diagrams in the books and magazines published by Nihon Shogi Renmei(Japan Shogi Association), 'Gyoku'(玉) is used for both colors.

On the other hand, if you buy a set of shogi pieces, there usually are one Gyokusho and one Ohsho as the Kings in it. It is a practice that a higher rated player uses the Ohsho and a lower rated player uses the Gyokusho in that case.

I think it will be no problem for Brainking to use two Gyokusho for both Kings.

Относно: Color in a handicap game
In Japan, we don't use the technical terms like Sente and Gote in a handicap game. Instead, we use Uwate(more skillful player) for a handicap giver and Shitate(less skillful player) for a handicap taker. And, Uwate, a handicap giver, always moves first in handicap games.

The color of Uwate is White and that of Shitate is Black. Why? I think this is due to the conveneience of printing industry in Japan. Looking at shogi books in Japan, the lower side of a diagram of a handicap shogi position is always Shitate(black). The player who needs to read such book is definitely novices/begenners and it is easier to understand the position if the lower side of the diagram is Shitate(Black) rather than Uwate(White). I think this is true for Igo handicap games. White(a handicap giver) drops first there.

The white King (Osho) is the one with the extra dash.

source: http://shawnbrown.com/basement/shogi/shogi_rules_1.html

Conclusion:

The white king with the extra dash, denoting wealth, is the reigning king.

The black king is the challenging king, and thus has the first move, attacking the reigning king's kingdom, because he needs the money. ;)

Относно: Gyokushō
I also happened to notice that with your current kanji shogi characters both King's are denoted as the "gyokushō" (jade general).

The "ōshō" (royal general) King looks the same but without the small dash next to the 'E',
which denotes the gyokushō king's wealth.

This is a common 'error' and might trouble programming? But correcting this issue would at least impress shogi player's with brainking's intrinsic attention to detail. ;)

Относно: Re: Shogi Handicaps
I think this has been somewhat confused.

In both Go and Shogi black ="Sente" has the first move and the first notation in the protocol etc. (white ="Gote")

Sente actually means "the first move".

The real japanese word for black is "Kuroi".

In Go, black was considered to have the advantage (moving first) so the komi rule was introduced (reducing 2 1/2 points from black's score after the game was finished) this changed certain opening strategies, which is why "kosumi" is only found in old go game that predate the rule.

In Shogi, black is also considered to have a (very small) advantage, however in certain openings and handicap games black (the first mover) is at a disadvantage, like the aigakari static-rook opening where black can fall for the classic bishop trap.

Handicap-Shogi is also quite popular at the shogidojo24.

By the way according to the Chess Grandmaster "Adorjan" from Hungary, black has the advantage, he has released two books explaining why Black is better than White (in Chess). He says we think white is better because of the psychological implications of the word "White" (=positve, pure, clean, etc.) etc.

Even Fischer has been quoted as saying that black is better, also world-champion Karpov never played 1.e4 ever again after losing his title to Kasparov in their 1.e4-c5 games =)

Some shogi master's think the kakugawari opening will die because black gives away a tempo to white, so one day white will find a winning strategy and kill the opening, but I don't believe that. =)

If white begin that they defend own position: 2.G-3b 3.P-7f 4.G-7b 5.B-6f 6.G-8b and white defend pawn on 9c.
But here can another explanation: white give material and must have compensation by doing 1st move.
