I'm kinda new to this game. but could you explain how white couldve saved both at 3:31 ?

Coz moving gold to 4E would still leave the king in check

[HIDETCHI]

Gold to 4e blocks the check.

[hamsturinn]

i got a question can some one play this game blindly by only saying where your gana move and set the pieces can the brain handle it ?

[HIDETCHI]

Of course.

At least the professional players can all play blind shogi.

[Takumi0justifaiz]

i noticed t hat you put the rook promtoed side (dragon) on th e piece stand.. shouldn't it be in the unpromoted side?

[HIDETCHI]

It doesn't matter, though it's more polite to put it unpromoted.

It will anyway be placed unpromoted when it's dropped.

At 5:24, it is probably better for King takes after knight checks. Opponent can then recapture after lance captures rook.

Thanks for a great tutorial :)

4:30 "you can take the dragon... for free!" that sounded so awesome! i love your vids hidetchi your english is great you are my favorite japanese person

@Bean123forjoem Yes, 2b still works, and so does 1a.

[Bean123forjoem]

at 1:52 you could drop the bishop at 2b and still, it's a skewer, right?

[NaturalGroundation]

@NaturalGroundation Nevermind... and this is why it is a Dragon king LOL... Now if it was a regular rook my plan would have worked HAHAHA

[zhumanchuie]

Why did you use the dragon king for the opponent in the exercise?

[MagicksMage]

I laughed when you said "swapped" ^-^

[hirohiigo]

@luboSVK Gote will drop his pawn to 7d, blocking the check and the attack on the dragon. It's a good idea, but promoting the bishop to give a threatmate is the only move in this position.

[luboSVK]

At your last exercise (opponents rook on 7A) : If I move a bishop to 8E, attacking the rook and putting king into check, would it be good move? Or is there some answer of the opponent that I can't see?
