How to play Shogi(将棋) -Lesson#6- Capture and Drop

I'll show you how to capture and drop a piece.
After I made this video, I noticed I've committed "two pawns in a file" (which is against the rules) in the example setup...
Sorry (-o-;)

[p90killsyou]

wait could you drop a piece to a position that puts ur enemy king in check or even checkmate???

[HIDETCHI]

@p90killsyou Of course

[KampungJering]

Hey. Can I ask you something? Let say I have a Pawn in hand. I want to drop my Pawn in the opponent camp. Once I drop my pawn, can I straight away promote it? By the way, how to say "check" and "checkmate" in Japanese?

[HIDETCHI]

You can't, of course.

Check is ou-te, checkmate is tsumi.

I just tried to watch a championship video and before they started one guy shook a bunch of pawns like dice and let them go and then set them up again. Is there an explanation or was it just tradition?

[HIDETCHI]

See lesson#21.

[polkaspotsss]

This totally beats checkers and chess.

[DrakeZetavon]

Your lessons are great thanks alot

[PeponcioXurripamfil]

@HIDETCHI but not a pawn, right?

[trumpeter811]

The single act of dropping makes this game like 100X more fun then chess or checkers

@seishinryohosha It's not against the rules to do that, but it's common courtesy to move your opponent's piece to your komadai before even touching your piece.

[seishinryohosha]

HIDETCHI-sensi, For the capture-part.

Can I first pick up my piece have it in the position to snap it, but before I snap it I take the opponets piece with my thumb,ring thinger and pinky and snap my piece then. Short: I take the opponents piece and snape my own at the same time. Is this also rude? Please help me.

I knew you can use the peices that you captured because shikamaru was talking about it when he was fighting tayuya... btw your videos helped me learn shogi!

[hirohiigo]

@TinyViet1990 You use "furigoma," or pawn toss. Details can be found in lesson 21. :)

[TinyViet1990]

at the start of a game of shogi. how do you know who get to make the 1st move? like in western cheese whites get to go 1st at the start of every new game

[k13scdude]

We call it a "tray" in English.

when you capture the pieces.

Hope that helps

Amazing videos man!!! Great work and effort!! Can't stop watching! Thanks a lot!

[hirohiigo]

@EmperorTaizong No. It can only capture directly forward.
