How to play Shogi(将棋) -Lesson#3- Promotion

I'll be talking about promotion and how the promoted pieces can move.
#Next Lesson:
Now I'm preparing a new set of pieces that are easier to recognize in the video than the ones I've been using so far. So please wait for a few days til I make the next video.

Hi, I have 2 questions...

1.) I'm sure I know the answer for this one, but I thought I'd 100% confirm, can you drop a pawn into your first row, as in nearest to you?

2.) This one I don't know about, can you drop a pawn into the last row (Enemy Camp?) because you can't drop a piece promoted, so it can't move anywhere, right? Thanks in advance.

Please see the video of "Capture and Drop".

Hi! Thanks for another interesting lesson! I'm assuming that nari means promoted, right? But what does tokin mean?

Thanks for your time and patience!

[HIDETCHI]

Hi, thanks.

Tokin means "promoted pawn".

[mrdirka23]

can u promote a dropped piece as soon as it is dropped?

[HIDETCHI]

Hi,

the answer to your question is covered in lesson #6.

[TOYD3]

Right. When it's promoted, it gets the promoted peice's movements and loses their originals.

@Got2BMoney No. You can only promote the piece you are moving in that move. Your dropped pawn would have to move to promote.

what a great game !!

I'm still learning from you videos hidetchi

thanks :D

Hello Hidetchi-sensei, I have a question. Is it possible to promote two pieces at the end of the same turn? For example, if I drop a captured foot soldier into the opponent's camp, then on my next turn move a different foot soldier into the opponent's camp, could I promote both foot soldiers to gold generals at the end of that turn? Thank you for posting these videos, they have been so helpful.

@OverNightGaming Then you should play on 81 dojo!

[hirohiigo]

@backflipx84 You can always choose not to promote a piece that has entered your opponent's camp.

Dislike bar is the size of Justin Biebers'.

Oh and very good series. I WUV TIS GAEM NAO <3

Oh yeah, and considering the quality of English they teach in Japanese schools and the quality you're speaking, it's obvious you relearned it. Thanks <3

if u put a captured bishop in enemy camp and take it out it can promote is what he is saying

[OverNightGaming]

I love shogi however I cant play it that much because almost no one knows it here

[VeeckyDa12one]

very nice video thank you for your effort took me some time to find it though^^

[hirohiigo]

@Strongbow520 No. The pawn, lance, knight, and silver simply become gold generals and give up their previous movesets. Only the horse and the dragon keep their original moves when promoting.
