Famous Shogi Games: HABU vs SHIMA (Aug. 17, 1987)

at 11:25, Could that promoted bishop take the other bishop in 4e instead of running??

[HIDETCHI]

Black doesn't wanna lose his horse there. That's the only powerful piece on the board. He shouldn't exchange it with just a bishop.

[SongSwords]

@HIDETCHI but if the check and having the bishop to drop would give the chance to mate, it should be done at the drop of a hat

maybe you can make a video about a game that show the impasse (jishogi) one of the way to draw the game, it is quite interesting as if it can show up in professional game?

Ironically with the FUNNIEST game, you made the funniest calculation too :P

How did you mess up 48 from 18 :)

Still, thanks very much for sharing. This game was indeed a remarkable game.
