  • Sweet lessons! Do you know where i can get a good quality shogi set?

  • @zZCosmicEnergyZz Go to shop.nekomado.com

  • 3:20 What exactly to you mean by cursives of silver? I see the first to pieces on the top share the same upside down V like part, but the secound two do not have these similarities.

  • I said cursives of "gold".

    They are all cursive styles of the same kanji, "gold". They are only different in how much they are cursive.

  • Hi, folks.

    Hidetchi, your videos are just what i've been finding. Just awesome! Thank you very much.

    By the way, what is the origin of the name Kei-Ma (Cassia Horse), is the Cassia to japanese culture that Laurel is for the greek-roman culture? is a simbol of honor and victory?

    Saludos.

  • No, cassia means bark of cassia tree.

    It was used for its incense.

  • The kanji for pawn is easy to visualise as a guy strolling along. Just search google images for "haters gonna hate" ;)

  • If an anime could inspire me to play shougi it would be shion no ou

  • @Furral never mind... it's the new youtube layout, it's confusing me.

  • Wow, where did all these people come from, all of a sudden?

  • I wish that I enjoyed learning in school as much as I enjoy learning about this game.

  • @HIDETCHI I'm looking up Cassia on the internet and finding several species and uses. Some call it 'cinnamon', which is a very common spice in the Western world. Would 'cinnamon horse' be right? (I like the sound of it).

  • whose learning this game cause of naruto :) give thumbs up

  • where did you get the shogi pieces Hidetchi?
