at 5:38 can you also promote the lance to protect the silver?

[HIDETCHI]

Yeah! You're right.

[mr74968]

At 2:52 white took 2 turns. White captures the knight with silver and then moved king right afterwards.

[HIDETCHI]

White didn't captured the knight.

See which player's piece stand the knight went to.

[iLuvHinata360]

at 5:28 you can also double threat the pawn, even if the opponent knight promotes, it's pointless, if he doesn't promote, the king will be in a bad situacion ;).

Your final suggestion in the last example was exactly how I planed it too ^^. thanks for another lesson Hidetchi-san.

[HIDETCHI]

Oh, you're right. Nice suggestion.

[HaterzSayHi]

you should do something like all these lessons for the game "Go"

GREAT TUTORIAL!

@superbadhinie99 Oh, and two pawns in a file, of course.

[hirohiigo]

@superbadhinie99 There's absolutely no rule against dropping pieces to block a check. It's a big part of shogi. The only illegal drops are drops where the piece has nowhere to go (pawn, lance, knight at the end of the board) and immediate mate with a dropped pawn. Any other drops are completely acceptable.

[superbadhinie99]

from 4:48 through 5:30 the demonstration of saving the rook and bishop, but in both cases white (opponent) dropped a pawn in the way to stop a check... is that illegal or is it only illegal to do that if its a checkmate or neither? and if you dont mind answering id like to know what the rule was for dropping peices other than a pawn in the path of a check or checkmate.

[hirohiigo]

@torntrof It's legal. Look at the square it's coming from. It starts inside the opponent's camp, so it can promote.

[torntrof]

On 5:58 you are suggesting an illegal move, because your bishop can't promote in your own territory ;)

[asakurakurodo]

oh i'm sorry i made a mistake

[asakurakurodo]

isn't that an illegal pawn move at 5:26?

[asakurakurodo]

isn't that an illegal pawn move at 5:26 ?
