Okytamhi
Okytamgood luck
Okytamwhen is it starting?
sbhi
sbhow similar is Shogi to chess?
sbbecause in chess you have openings, but I don't
sb*havent heard of shogi openings
sbshogi seems slightly slower but more complex than chess
Uchikinot only slightly more complex ...
sba lot more complex?
sbI've heard of a 1525 move forced mate in shogi
sbthe longest in chess is no where near that
Uchikithanks
andiologistthank you
UchikiI play both, chess and shogi
sbcool
Uchikiand i think, shogi is way more complex
Uchikicause of the drop rule
sbI would like to learn shogi, I think the drop rule really cool
Uchikithis makes shogi rather dynamic
nakata14There are many Shogi openings. At first, I think it's good to think about protecting your own half from the opponent's rook and bishop.
Uchikibut shogi openings are different to chess openings
Uchikiin shogi you have to memorize patterns
Uchikiin chess concrete moves
sbive seen there are castles in shogi
Uchikithats true
sbdo you have any advice on which ones are good?
sbor even which openings are good?
Uchikino, i dont know any of them
Uchikii only play one castle
sbwhat!!!
Uchikibut even this one i didn't know
sbhow?
Uchikii my opinion shogi is a lot about intuition
Uchikiexperience about time to develop an attack
Uchikiand knowing how to mate
Uchikiyou need to calculate well
sbIm finding its really hard to see drop moves in advance, especially from my oppenent
Uchikiyes, if you are a beginner, you may fall into lots of traps :-)
sbis there any which are really common?
Uchikifor example the one in your game against andiologist ...
sboh...
Uchikiyou have to protect against this drop with yout silver or gold
sbit was a very mean trap
Uchikiintersting discussion, but now I have to go
Uchikicu
sbok
sbbyee
nakata14In the early game, it's good to protect the bishop.
sbwith the silver or golds right?
nakata14yes. Gold is recommended.
sbIn chess, generally you slowly trade off pieces and get a winning endgame
sbI guess you cant do that in shogi?
nakata14In shogi, when one of the players makes a mistake in the early stages, they are often attacked aggressively.
nakata14But if you don't make mistakes, it will end slowly like chess.
sbcould it go on forever?
nakata14someday it will end.
sbthe longest chess game was ~250 moves I thik
sb*think
sbshogi seems to last longer
nakata14The longest official professional match must have been 420 moves.
sbholy moly
sbdoes that mean there are no draws?
nakata14There is also a draw. repetition(sen-nichi-te) and so on.
nakata14By the way, isn't my English weird?
sbits ok. Why?
nakata14That's good. I don't understand English, so I rely on google translate for now.
sbwhat's your native language then?
nakata14it's Japanese. Because I'm Japanese.
sbthat's cool, I always forget how big the internet is.
sbAlso, do you know how much time there is in between games?
sbI've been waiting for the best part of 40? minutes
nakata14I do not understand either. Probably, it may not be matched unless it is a person with similar grades.
sbthat makes sense
sbAnyway, I'm going to do puzzles now. It's been lovely chatting,however I have to go. Bye!
nakata14Thank you and goodbye.
