Shogi, the Japanese version of Chess, with more that 15,000,000 adherents, is one of the most popular variants of chess in the world. It is true that shogi is played mainly in Japan but for a game to have attracted such a large and devoted following, with extensive newspaper and television coverage, it must have an appeal that transcends ordinary games. Without doubt, it ranks alongside chess and go as one of the three great classic board gaes.

Shogi for Beginners explains the rules and strategies of shogi clearly and in detail. It covers everything you need to know, from the opening through the endgame, so that you can start playing right away.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Excellent Introduction to a Challenging Game
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 11. Juli 2000
    Shogi and Chess share a common ancestor and have as their objective the capture of the enemy king. They are alike in many other ways, but someone seeing both games for the first time might never suspect that they are so closely related.
    Shogi is a challenging and satisfying game. It is visually a little off-putting to the Western tyro, but Westernized sets are available. I'd recommend switching to Japanese sets as soon as you can decipher the hieroglyphics. Play with authentic Japanese pieces enhances the pleasure of the game tremendously.
    Fairbairn's book is the better of the two introductory books on Shogi that come from Western authors. (Trevor Leggett's "Shogi: Japan's Game of Strategy" is the other). The book is well organized. Fairbairn begins with six chapters on the basics of the game. Chapter 7 is a collection of mating problems, and then Chapter 8 introduces the reader to a complete game. Fairbairn then gives a chapter on castles. (In Chess there are two castles, in Shogi there are dozens). Then he gives chapters on the opening, the middle game, and the endgame. The endgame to Shogi is much more exciting than the endgame in Chess. In Shogi the board is just as cluttered with pieces as in the beginning, and frequently both kings simultaneously totter on the brink of checkmate. The penultimate chapter deals with certain of the finer points of Shogi, and the final chapter gives a collection of games. As the old TV commercial says, "Try it, you'll like it!"
    After reading this book and playing a few games, if you'd like to learn the game in greater depth, try to find "Better Moves for Better Shogi," a bilingual book written by Aono Teriuchi, a Japanese Shogi champion, with an English translation by John Fairbairn.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen The best English language book for a beginner
    Bewertet in den USA am1. Juni 2020
    Verifizierter Kauf
    This is a great book for anyone looking to learn Shogi from scratch. The book covers the rules of the game, the symbols on the pieces and their movement. It also goes describes some of the most commonly used castles and opening lines as well as middle game and end-game tactics.
    The book finishes up with examples of illustrative games.
    As with western chess books, this book is best used with a Shogi board in front of you.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Best introduction
    Bewertet in Großbritannien am 2. August 2014

    Compared with Go (and of course Chess) there are regrettably few books available in English on the beautiful game of Shogi (which I rate as the second greatest game in the history of civilisation - after Go, and just ahead of western Chess, followed by Chinese Chess and Contract Bridge). If you are looking at this book wondering whether you should take the plunge and learn this game, with the weird kanji characters - do it! The initial game is slower than chess, since most pieces are less powerful than a Chess king. The most powerful piece is the rook (and you only get one), followed by the bishop (only one of those, too). Unlike chess, however, pieces never go out of the game, because once captured they can be reintroduced by the capturing side as one of their own men - on any legal square. Rather like chess with paratroops. This means that as the game goes on it gets faster and more exciting, rather than slower like the end game in chess. There is much less need to learn lots of opening variations than in chess, which removes a bit of a drudgery.

    OK, what about this book? I think this is a great introduction to the game, it really gave me a good feel for what it was about, introduced a number of principles for the opening (and several specific openings), middle and end game. It ends with a number of professional games. The other main introductory text is Hosking's "The art of shogi". I would suggest that as a second book, as although it also has introductory material, there is a lot of more advanced material too, and I think this is a better first book (but Hosking would be considered the better book once you have been playing for a while). It is hard to find opponents unless you live in London, but fortunately, like Go, you can play online for free. Just go to 81dojo.com and create a free account. Youtube producer Hidetchi has a sequence of videos introducing the game too, and a japanese company (run by a lady professional) called Nekomado produces high quality sets. They are expensive though, so initial cheaper sets are better bought here on Amazon.

    Haven't had the time I would have liked to really study it but as a Chess player I can tell that this book will really help anyone who has the will to learn to play Shogi. I plan to settle down in the new year and get into it one thing I can say is that this book will help a beginner to play the game and have an idea as to what he is doing.
