I'm glad you made this since Hidetchi has been gone for so long. Someone needs to make English-language learning tools for this great game. I'll always miss his game analyses though...hope he's doing well!
03:45 - I thought I was the only one who called him "Shutters Monster". 05:00 - I literally can't believe that you saw the "R" there as well. When I started that was my first and only clue. Kanji connects us all :O
This is amazing! The title is hilarious and everything is explained perfectly. Czech pieces are also very helpful to balance international pieces, which aren't used often, and kanji, which just need to be learned and don't help with movements. Also BOOM!!
I also love the Czech piece style. When I first learned shogi in high school in the 80s, I cut out my own pieces from a manila folder and used the exact same movement glyphs. Does anyone still sell those pieces? I've been tempted to go to a shogi piece-carving workshop just so I could make some of my own! Kumon also makes a teaching set for Japanese youngsters, but those pieces are much more square, only good for learning.
I was wondering what SH GI TU RIAL meant and then I paid attention to what was written on the pieces. And I both love it and hate it so much you have no idea.
Just a small correction - the piece you are using as the king in your examples is the general with the "jade" character, not the "king" character - that dot makes the difference. These are the only two pieces that have asymmetric kanji because neither can be captured (doing so ends the game). Different looking, but functionally identical pieces for each side show up prominently in Xianqi.
I am aware. They are both equal in terms of movement and name (king). The only relevance is during the beginning of the game, but not gameplay related just cultural. Generally speaking the higher ranked player will play using the king general. I use jade because there are common sets where both kings have this kanji to not differentiate culturally between the players. The jade is also commonly used in shogi diagrams. Since it is a basic course I didn't want to confuse the beginner too much with those expansions.
@@ShogiHarbour I contacted you on Lishogi. Shogihome is quite awesome. A bit tough to setup (YaneuraOu, needs more files than just the engine), but then you can do engine play and analysis just as we're used to in Chess.
Upside down penguin! So that is why he is sad! Well, I know how to tell if it is my piece or not now. No more problems with thinking my pawn is an enemy pawn in tsume!
boom
waaaa

He is busy with work and family :) Those are too big shoes to fill, but I will do what I can...!
"A safe place to learn about shogi." BOOM
Weeeeeeeeeeell
Awesome sauce!! I hope you can keep making tons of videos. Godspeed!
Thanks 😊

That's awesome!!! Hahaha. The imagination connects us :)
i hope you wore thick protective gear to protect you from all the explosive fires
Yep, but what do I do now that my face has glasses shaped imprint on my black face?

Yes, they sell it in Czech that's why it is called Czech pieces shogi.cz/en/

I know, I know, I was thinking about it whole night
I didn't notice until I read the comment. It's brilliant! 😂

Lishogi has this wonderful piece set, with full japanese symbol, but the movement markers very subtle at the borders/in the background. Really great.
Lishogi sets are indeed the best
@@ShogiHarbourUnfortunately my comment got deleted. In short: I've created an international piece set for Shogihome, I posted on Reddit in r shogi
Oh need to check both of those things out

@Tortuosit all right. Thanks!
Very entertaining + instructive tutorial!!
Now I know what video to give anybody who complains about kanjiiii... boom!!😊
Perfect!!! Boom
Commenting for the YT algorithm. Thanks for the upload!
Thank you :)

Your pieces are happy and your opponents are sad? Wow that's a brilliant way to remember!! Lol
The title is actually 200IQ
Thank you haha
All my sets are standard kanji sets, but I would love to get a Czech set for when I am trying to teach it to my friends.
They sell it online, you can find it easily with czech shogi!
thumbnail game going strong I see :)
Boom
13:05 - I have found a mate in 12 moves which I think is the shortest mate in Shogi, am I right?
In 7 :)
Not quite.I think there is a shorter mate
@@ShogiHarbour What?! 7 in chess moves count or shogi count? I meant like mate in 6 by chess counting. Please sensei show us 😯
I mean the dumbest mate you can do is p26 k42 p25 k32 p24 r42 p23+ mate
@@dane6689 that is 7 moves in shogi so 3-4moves in chess.
