同馬

dax00

Well, my premove is binding. Do you need a diagram? 合 means 'any' in shogi context.

KaijiAUT

Okay. No I don't need right now, because I am at home and have build up a board this time. 

Then I have took 2十 with 横.

After your 4四横 I play 1二反成

dax00

Premove: ☗同香成☖同豹☗1八竜☖3六獅

dax00

This is much crazier than modern shogi. I can barely keep up 🤯

KaijiAUT

Same, it is totally crazy. 

☗同香成☖同豹, but then I play:

3八反

I plan to play through all your games. Japanese notation increases the challenge for me but I'll find a way.

This feels playable, at least more so than without drops. My primary critique is the lack of strategy. This is almost all tactics. Vastly different from beloved chu shogi, in my estimation around 80-85% strategy, which is how I prefer things.

This, on the other hand, feels so volatile. I'm not confident at all. About 4 or 5 turns ago, it seemed as if you had a winning shot but misplayed it somehow. I haven't analysed any deeper, so I don't currently have a line to point you towards.

Anyways, this is not quite to my taste. In the future, I may want to have another go, but not any time soon. Definitely more suited to the more aggressive, attacking players out there.

KaijiAUT

It is playable I think, but very aggressive in my opinion much more then just shogi. I don't like it how easy you can exchange material for dropping later. In Shogi there are pawns in the way. So it seems like shogi endgame run from early on and I don't think this only is because of my playstile in this one game. Overall it is an interesting experience and I say the same. Let's get back to chu shogi after this.

A) ☗同鯨☖5九仲 but than

5二鯨

Not that this would work but I will try keep attacking
