1:38 bishop can also go E8 and F9

[HIDETCHI]

Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about...

[kimonji]

Haha, the rude way to exchange bishop made me laugh

[HIDETCHI]

Yeah, the first time we see someone does that, it looks so strange that we don't even understand at first glance what had happend. (^^;)

But that rude way is pretty common in amateur players...

it's a shame many friends got scared at first when they saw my board and the chinese characters (and perhaps it looks kinda odd a Cuban playing shogi). But I got my sister, my other sister's husband, and a friend currently hooked on it (you know, i need people with whom practice and beat, especially because I'm getting worse in western chess and bored of it too). Thanks again for the videos man.

[RexPetrov]

Hey Hidetchi-sensei, I made you famous since I quoted you on a speech I did in a college class about shogi. Also, I added one of your lessons as part of the sources I used to prepare the speech. My profesor liked it even though I took 14 minutes instead of the 5 I had available. :)

@maartinful Now that you say that, you are right! In some ways I got an improvement in western chess. For example, I have adopted more the concept of castling in Shogi but applied to western chess. In other words, I'm less affraid of attacking more than developing defence since I can always bring some pieces closer to defend my king.

I have a long lasting gratitude to you for teaching this ^^!! I struggled to castle is shogi, due to lack of experience, and now, I have a notion of how to truely play strategically, all thanks to you Hidetchi-sensei.

@maartinful: No, the gold should stay on 7h so that it can defend the pawn on 8g. In this situation we usually move the bishop out of the way, such as to 6h or 4f, and then move the king to 7i then 8h.

[maartinful]

well ... i have only my father , were both not plaing it long but were nearly same inteligent so its funny :D , and my western chess got much better when i started to play shogi , it looks much more sipmler for me now

[maartinful]

at 4:37 , im thinking about G7 to 6h , then move king to 7h , is taht a good choice ? is it usuall ?
