I have started playing shogi few time ago, and I am confused with one thing: how do I learn openings for Gote? In lishogi studys there are only openings for Sente mainly, with very few exceptions and I have problems to learn how to play the early-game with white. Same thing aplies for YouTube videos and tutorials. If someone could tell me where I can find opening theory for gote I would be very thankfull. And, by the way, what are your favourite openings :) ?
most openings that work for sente will also work for gote. true that as gote, you'l start with a little less initiative, and so you'l need to be just a little more vigilant
may I ask: what opening/s have you been trying to learn?
@Papermask , I usually play Ureshino as Sente and I try to play Gokigen Central Rook as Gote, but when my oponent plays P-24 as his first move it gets complicated. I usually try to adjust the move order to end up in a similar position, but I would prefer to learn an alternative opening against it (maybe Aigakari?).
