Shogi - Japanese Chess by Roger Hare, rhare[at]talk21[dot]com Last modified: 13 September 2003 Roger Hare's Shogi Pages are brought to you by the portal to the wonderful world of Shogi. Editor's note: Roger has retired and it is unlikely that he will be able to devote any more time to his Shogi pages in the future, so these pages should now be regarded as complete. They were one of the first, if not the first, Shogi pages on the internet and have provided many Shogi fans and aspiring players with lots of invaluable information about Shogi and its variants.

We are therefore very pleased that Roger has chosen Shogi.Net as the new home for his Shogi pages. We thank Roger for all his efforts to popularize Shogi and hope he'll enjoy his retirement.

Introduction Shogi is one of the forms of chess which is generally thought to have developed from the game Shaturanga or Shatranj.

It is the Japanese form of the game which is known in the West as 'Chess' - more correctly, 'International Chess'. Shogi is the Japanese form of the game. There are others, for example Chinese Chess (Xiang-chi). Shogi is similar to International Chess in that it is played between two players ('black' and 'white'), and that the object is to checkmate the opponents king.

Shogi is also very different from International Chess (hereafter called simply Chess). Here are a few of the differences: • There are several forms of Shogi, played on anything from a 7x7 board to a 25x25 board. The most common form is the 9x9 version - Shogi. • Captured pieces may be re-entered by the capturing player. • Most pieces may be promoted under certain circumstances.

The bulk of what follows describes the usual 9x9 form of shogi. The Board The board looks like this: The board is 9 'squares' by 9. In fact, the 'squares' are slightly larger in the vertical direction than the horizontal. The circular points are to mark promotion zones and to enable you to visually divide the board up easily. The letters and numbers are for notational purposes - eg: the top right square is 1a, the bottom left is 9i, and so on. As we will see later, black plays 'up' the board, and white plays 'down' the board.

Note: All graphics in the basic shogi pages were developed using programs written in the language - an enthusiasm of mine. The Pieces Shogi pieces are usually wedge shaped and pointed. There is no difference between blacks pieces and whites because captured pieces need to be able to be re-entered after capture. In the actual game, the direction in which a piece points indicates which side it is on. The pieces are identified with (usually) two Japanese characters. It is usual in diagrams to show only the top character.
