1:57 this is an illegal move called nifu...
You cant have two unpromoted pawns in the same column

[이민준_lee_min_jun]

Never thought I’d see a mistake in a wiki how, a pawn cannot be dropped into the same column you already have an unpromoted pawn in

[EdwardCarnby_Fan]

Damn RGG studio, you force me to play Shogi.

I'm here because my boy will be cosplaying shikamaru so.. yeah let's learn it so maybe, who knows, he will enjoy it too 😂😂😂😂
Ps. The youngest one will cosplay choji, easy task, we both love food.

You know what? That's actually pretty simple. Thanks a lot!

Although it's still hard to identify each piece.

Promoted Bishop = Horse
Promoted Rook = Dragon

According to anime, this is the most fun board game ever created by humanity.

Great vid, hope more people learn about shogi

[Jessica-nfwy]

Who else is here because they watched Naruto and saw Shikamaru play it and became absolutely dedicated to learn afterwards? Just me?

[thensho]

funny how the first drop example would result in a loss by illegal drop 😆

[jasonrabeiro]

This looks alot more engaging and interesting than regular chess. If the pieces didn't all look the same and weren't all written exclusively in Kanji, I believe shogi has the potential to overtake chess in popularity.

Basically, give me Naruto pieces as stand-ins for the Shogi pieces!

you cannot have more than one pawn in a column at any time

[leventtarksencan]

I was looking for alternative games like chess so thanks to Japans ❤️❤️

[Azle.a]

im here to learn shogi for a fanfic I'm writing...

[REYKAXAMA]

Now i know where the idea edo tensei come from😂

[sayakchakrabarty]

its like crazy house chess mixed with standard chess and with more pieces.

[typingcat]

Damn, the rules are complex.. and the the pieces are hard to recognise because they all are just Chinese letters, instead of distinct shapes.

[rnradorzuegirdor]

this is way more interesting than chess

[brucelee]

holy cow just based off on movements alone this is more complicated than chess or chinese chess. You can even play a captured piece whaaaat? That takes things up to a whole new level
