Japanese Chess: The Game of Shogi [Leggett, Trevor, Baker, Alan] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Japanese Chess: The Game of Shogi

Review: Very helpful and informative for learning the basics of Shogi. - Very new to shogi, and while this book didn't teach me everything I'd like to know it did set a good foundation, helping me learn some basic openings and strategies, and teaching me how to read a Japanese score properly so I have more resources to choose from afterwards. The author is a 4th dan at the time of writing it, and at the end of the book Yasuharu Oyama (who is a Shogi Meijin or Champion) put an afterward endorsing the book, so I'd say it's definitely worth checking out if you are interested in Shogi.
Review: Includes paper board and shogi pieces to cut out so the reader can play the game right away. - This book sets out clear instructions of the game of shogi. I like that it also gives a brief overview of the origins of the game. I especially like that the writer gives insight to strategy without bogging the reader down too much. Plus, if I didn't own my own shogi board and pieces, the book has paper sets to practice with in the back of the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very helpful and informative for learning the basics of Shogi.
*by W***A on June 24, 2019*

Very new to shogi, and while this book didn't teach me everything I'd like to know it did set a good foundation, helping me learn some basic openings and strategies, and teaching me how to read a Japanese score properly so I have more resources to choose from afterwards. The author is a 4th dan at the time of writing it, and at the end of the book Yasuharu Oyama (who is a Shogi Meijin or Champion) put an afterward endorsing the book, so I'd say it's definitely worth checking out if you are interested in Shogi.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Includes paper board and shogi pieces to cut out so the reader can play the game right away.

This book sets out clear instructions of the game of shogi. I like that it also gives a brief overview of the origins of the game.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes it easy to learn
*by A***R on January 24, 2019*

This has been the best resource if you're and English only speaker and want to learn shogi. Coming with its own board to practice and going into plays that professionals vs new comers do makes it very useful.
