How to play Shogi(将棋) -Lesson#15- Repetition("Sen-nichi-te")

[takodori]

@Jamiewinters8 More strictly, you can drop a piece in hand on any vacant square on the board regardless it is in the promotion zone or not, unless it is a double pawn or lets your king stay in check which is an illegal move.

[takodori]

@Jamiewinters8 Yes you can. You can drop a piece in hand on any vacant square on the board regardless it is in the promotion zone or not. If the dropped piece in the promotion moves after dropping, then it can get promoted. Namely, you cannot drop a promoted piece in the promotion area.

[Jamiewinters8]

can you drop pieces in the promotion zone (the one in which they would be promoted)?

and if so, can you promote them?

[yashirokyu]

@Jamiewinters8 Yes, you can, but you cannot drop it promoted. You drop it as a normal unpromoted, let's say, silver. Of course, if you move this dropped piece in the next move, you can normally promote it, as any other piece.

[serefkana]

I think its because Shogi is more honorable than western Chess.

wow, that was a complicated match :P, not an ideal situation. Thanks for this lesson Hidetchi-sensei ^^!

[novatodeguitarra]

wowowowow who loses if it's perpetual check the one doing the check or the one being checked it's the 2nd right?

[HIDETCHI]

No, it's the one doing the check who loses.

In shogi, you must not physically force your opponent to accept a draw.

[Takumi0justifaiz]

h ey hidetchi why can't white just drop a lance to protect the file?

[HIDETCHI]

I'm giving an example of repetition. It's not about what is the best or anything like that in a position.

[Kroshiroi]

HIDETCHI, are you a professional shogi player?

Can you tell me how to become professional shogi player?I heard there will be an exam to be qualified as professional player

[F2L4Life]

No perpetual check? I am not sure I like that...oh well.

For some strange reason youtube will not let me paste the website. Just type Japanese Games Shop in google. The name of the owner is David Hurley.

[HIDETCHI]

Thanks for the information!

Yeah, you can't paste a website on the comment field. What I often do is putting spaces between each letter, like,

h t t p : / / w w w .

In this way you can paste a website.(^^;)

Hello Hidetchi, thank you for teaching us westerners Shogi, I just purchased a set from Japan.

[HIDETCHI]

Hello, thanks for the comment.

Oh, really? Did you order it from U.S.? Well, many viewers (like murijoe-san below ^^) ask me where they can get shogi pieces overseas, so if you know a Japanese store that accepts orders from abroad, why don't you tell us? (^o^)

[murijoe]

thanks for teaching, i learned how to play Shogi only watching your video!!

now i dont have the game, and i wanna do it because you made me wanna play so much and i cant _ _"

i live in Brasil, and i cant buy.. /sob

[HIDETCHI]

I wish I could tell you how to get Shogi pieces in Brazil, but unfortunately I don't know.

However, you can also play online in the internet. I think I'll introduce one of Japanese online Shogi website in one of my later lessons. I believe there are some online playing websites abroad, too.

[murijoe]

wóooo

i made on.. well, it isn't a perfect shogi.. but i can train with other people, i dont like to play with on-line players... because i like the "emotion game" hehehe

there a lot of tatics that i dont know.. it would be good if you show some xD

i will continue looking for the original shogi, i made with E.V.A. , easy to cut and make everything... but the sound of the pieces when put in the table, is the best part of the game U_U asduhausdhausdh

thanks again!

[HIDETCHI]

Oh, you made it yourself? That's great!

I hope you find the original Shogi, too.

Great lesson and an interesting story. I have one question regarding the shogi pieces being used in this lesson. Are these special pieces, because they only show one character, something I have only seen in shogi books before.

[jinfire109]

He got them for the videos. he started with regular pieces and got the shortend version to make it a bit simpler for those who do understand the kanji... so yes they are "special pieces" He did not however explain where he got these pieces. (he explained it in one of the early videos I believe lesson #3)

[jinfire109]

Sorry, Who DONT understand kanji... I made a little typo their :P

[HIDETCHI]

Thank you for answering the question for me, jinfire109-san.(^^)

Actually, ther're not so special. I mean, they're not so rare. We can easily find and get "One-letter pieces" in Japan, although regular pieces are two-lettered. They're often used in games on television, because they're easier to recognize on TV. You can find a TV broadcast game like that in Lesson#9, or other Youtube videos.

Just saw a game ending like that today, a Bishop-Rook impasse. Not very often, but still is good to know :)

[shawnspringstead]

ya, i doubt that happens very often
