For all beginner Shogi players !!
Yamajunn's Basic Shogi Opening
Beginner's first 3 openings
When you play Shogi , how shold you move ? For beginner players , it may be very difficult question . In this secsion , I show 3 relatively primitivestrategies of shogi . These are primitive , but they teach us the basic way of thinking about shogi| 1. Genshi bougin (Primitive climbing silver)
1.P-2f P-8d 2.P-2e P-8e 3.G-7h G-3b 4.P-2d Px2d 5.Rx2d P*2c 6.R-2h P-8f 7.Px8f Rx8f 8.P*8g R-8b? 9.S-3h S-6b? 10.S-2g P-6d? 11.S-2f S-6c 12.S-2e Where is the weakest square in your oponent'scamp ? It is theBishop's head; 2c square !! Then the most simple way to break opponent'scamp is attacking the opponent's Bishop's head ,at the 2c square . But only single Rook's power ,Gote can easily defend the square 2c with G-3b .So you need the right silver to join attacking . more aboutGenshi Bougin |
| 2. Genshi Nakabisha (Primitive central rook)
1.P-5f P-3d 2.R-5h P-5d 3.S-6h S-6b 4.S-5g G6a-5b? 5.S-4f S-5c? 6.P-5e Is there other point to attack ? Another answer is opponent's King! . By moving your Rook in the 5th file, and attack the opponent's King directly !! more about Genshi Nakabisha |
| 3. Haya ISHIDA (Quick ISHIDA ryu attack)
1.P-7f P-3d 2.P-7e P-8d 3.R-7h P-8e 4.K-4h P-8f? 5.Px8f Rx8f 6.P-7d The other idea where you should attack is opponent's Rook. Rooks are very useful piece for attack . But when a Rook is attacked , yousometimes can't save it without losing someadvantages . |
