Download or read book Shogi Or Japanese Chess Book of Board Game Strategy written by John Mamoun and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient board game of Shogi, or Japanese Chess, has been played for hundreds of years. Shogi is the king of chess games, and is arguably more complex and abstract than international chess or Xiangqi (Chinese chess). However, few books have been published in the English language on Shogi strategy. This Shogi book demonstrates optimal strategies, verified by modern computer analysis. The book is heavily illustrated with pictographic chess board diagrams, similar to diagrams in international chess books. These picture pieces are easier to visualize than classical Shogi Japanese character piece labels. Excessive use of algebraic notation is avoided, making it easier to follow game annotations, and to evaluate positions. This book is an easier way for English speakers to learn this complex board game, that has a tactical language quite different from that of international chess or Chinese chess. Topics include: ● Shogi Rules and Notation systems ● Opening Game Theories and Pitfalls ● Castles - Yagura, Anaguma, Mino, Elmo, etc. ● Middle Game and End Game Tactics ● Infiltration and Dropping Tactics ● Numerous Checkmate Problems and Solutions ● Annotated Games Illustrate Rules and Tactics ● Hundreds of Illustrations - An Actual Board is Not Needed to Follow Annotated Examples

Download or read book Japanese Chess Sh Ngi written by Chô-Yô Chô-Yô and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japanese Chess (Shô-Ngi): The Science and Art of War or Struggle Philosophically Treated Chinese Chess (Chong-Kie) And I-Go R. Inspired by the grand economy of the nature which reveals itself into the causes and effects governing all things from the universe down to molecular existences, admiring the almost incomprehensible foresight, clear plans and diplo matic movements of Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and that sort of personages, and the tactics and strategy of George Washington - those who won the victory in a colossal chess game of humanity in which they stood for the side of pure democracy - thus inspired, while the little Japanese of the small little island Empire are contesting with the gigantic and most puisant Russian Autocrat, the writer dares say that it is not merely a great number of population, nor enormous amount of pecuniary wealth, nor an immensely extensive territory, nor a considerable superiority of naval and military materiels, nor all these conditions put together that one belligerent power compels another to do what the former wants.
