HI!=^.^=I love your videos and they've really helped me in playing shogi.

as for what you said, I'ld like to learn "The Climbing Silver" and, in one of your prevous lessons(the castles)you showed a castle called "the Silver Crown", I'ld like to learn how to make that castle step-by-step.plz reply to this

[HIDETCHI]

I believe I showed you the process of building a Silver Crown in that video. That's how we make it.

Idea: diff between king and jeweled general.

I know, in Japan, it's a very BIG (!!!) difference, western people can't understand.

Also at Shogi-List were discussion about it, but they didn't declared it.

"usually" the better player use the king general.

What, if the stronger player starts a game against a weaker player? Or can't this happen?

I believe, Furigoma is made AFTER setup the game. Are the Kings changed after Furigoma (if needed)?

I believe there are much more questions about this!

[HIDETCHI]

It's just that the superior (i.e. stronger, elder, etc.) player uses the King general, no matter who plays first. I mean, King general can be used either by black or white.

By the way, what's "Shogi-List"?

@Calliban

Oh, that's very easy (to get an approximate value).

Simple play many games against japanese.

How you can do it, maybe you ask?

Of course in internet, for example at shogidojo24

@HIDETCHI

Very much thanks for your Shogi-Series and I hope we will see more and more and more.

Maybe soon with better video&audio quality ;-)

And also much thanks for your voice for my Shogiprogram BCMSHogi. Very much thanks.

[HIDETCHI]

Hi, youtube has an option of playing the video with better audio&visual quality. Just add "&fmt=18" to the end of the address for each video.

I'd like to present your Shogiprogram in lesson#27. Would that be all right?

[Novacat1822]

An excellent video! I joined youtube just so i could comment on your video series. I look forward to more videos, and would love to see closer looks at specific and well known shogi tactics, such as the climbing silver... ect. Thanks again for the great video series!

another idea:

How to punish impulsive and thoughtless attacks:

A lot of beginners dont like to play shogi the proper way. Instead they try to attack immediately, without noticing their bad shape. Other beginners, then frightened by these attacks and overly cautious, dont realize the countermeasures they have and successively get into a desperate position. This again makes the attacker believe he had chosen the correct strategy, which is a fallacy. Prove them wrong!

Is Tokyo U as hard as they say?

[gokharol]

Youre incredible !!did you know? I think youre the best, hey can i join the amateur, even if i am a non japanese person?

[konsyjes]

Thank you for all your hard work with the videos so far. I like your style!

I think it would be interesting to learn about some middle game strategies and how to attack and defend correctly. For western players used to chess it is not an easy step to adjust to using captured pieces so strategies that involve many exchanges are also something I would like to learn more about. Also, what is important to win the game and how to use your advantage after you have it. Thank you! I will be watching.

m, true but, she was there with only 16, that was my point :P. not the age she has now-a-days XP. I should have said: "she WAS 16 years old". early age for a woman professional. I remember you from playOK, you're Hidan888's friend, i'm rikkuhyuuga, remeber?

[hirohiigo]

@iLuvHinata360 This video was made in December 2008, so she's older now. She'll be 18 in a few days.

[iLuvHinata360]

Kana Satomi is only 16 years old o.O, that's my age! she must have started shogi years earlier. Cool ranking system ^^. I wonder if I am good enough to be in amateur 10th-9th dan :P.

[Reyrocksall]

Modest are we?

[simonguoxm]

I must say --Your English is very good.

[davil3n]

I'm very impressed with the knowledge you possess on Shogi being a 5th Dan your insight is very valuable. I'm thankful that you have taken the time to teach me to play a game I have been wanting to learn for years. arigato gozaimasu Hidetchi san.
