By A Customer

This book is excellent. Using this book and little else I was able to get a grasp of the game. The book is complete and well thought out. It included enough informtion to allow me to hit the web and learn more. If you have an interest in shogi, get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent entry into Shogi, 13 Nov 2002

By	Gisli Jokull Gislason "Jokull" (Iceland) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I enjoy the privillage of having been tought Shogi by a japanese gentelman who is attempting to expand Shogi to Iceland. Having learned the basics from him I was desperatly looking for a book that leads you through basic tactics such as castling and climbing silver and found all that I wanted in this book. The first chapters also include simple and straight forward explanations on the game so this book is an excellent entry into the world of Shogi.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learn this awesome game!, 26 Jul 1999

By A Customer

Shogi can be a bit intimidating at first with its idiograms and rules that captured pieces can be put back into play, but it is a game that rivals chess in many ways and to me is more enjoyable and complicated.

The book is good, but its illustrations are sometimes wanting. The thing to do is work through the sample games and see what is going on in each game. I found this book a great help in understanding some basic tactics and I try to play whenever I can.
