Thanks for the comment. Yes, you are right. The opening is more complicated. I was just going to make it simple for the new players. Because shogi itself is enough complicated and hard to study especially for non japanese people. And yes, Gangi is useful and becoming popular strategy. In fact, the number of Gangi games were bigger than Yagura in this year. Gangi is really flexible as you said, and shogi engine prefer it than strong castle.

Thanks for the comment! Don’t worry. Understanding level is same as mine. The steps are really messy. About sennichite, Takumi Ito found a way to sennichite against Sota Fujii and Ito succeeded it as gote. Ito achieved an award of the sennichite joseki. Of course sente can avoid it after this game. But there could be another sennichite. Conclusion point of view, shogi engine already found it as sente 100% win. So until human beings reach the conclusion, there could be sennichite.

@@shogiramentv64 I think that is really the goal of gote in Kakugawari. I think gote hopes to get sennichite, so that the game has to be replayed with sente and gote reversed.

I don’t like sennichite even if I am gote. But for professional players they have to win or draw as a job. So yes, I agree with the goal of gote. In other strategies I haven’t seen the similar situation like Kakugawari. Probably it would be just from that professional players have not studied deeply yet.

Thanks! My explanation was bad so almost of my listeners couldn’t understand it;)

@@shogiramentv64 😆don't worry! As far I understand, Fujii-san made that move to bait his opponent into attacking early. It was not the best move, but it worked as intended.

Thanks for watching! If the professional player wants to play the joseki, yes he has to remember 70 moves. But 70 moves including too many branches, so it would be impossible for normal professional players. I guess only top pro like Fujii-san, Ito-san, Nagase-san could do. Once they agreed to play the joseki then 70 moves will pass in only few minutes. If someone spends more time, then he would want to deviate from the joseki or probably he forgot some details of branches and needed to examine them by his brain. About the number of moves in joseki, even if just each move has only 3 branches, the number would be 3 power to 70. Too many moves indeed xD

@@shogiramentv64 I see. Watanabe-san is crying in the corner 😏

Thanks for watching! Your understanding is correct. Dropping bishop and getting rook is a bit slow against Anaguma. I was thinking another option about S64 instead of capturing silver. Even gote did the defense, sente still will attack by Sx65. Steps will be S64, Sx65, Sx65, S66, P’64, Sx65, Px65, S’53. This is one example. So even if gote choose more defensive way, sente can attack by sacrificing silvers. After these comparisons, I think gote chose just capturing silver.

@@jesusalbertogiraldomendoza9960 rather why was it better than moving bishop to B-46, because immediately running away of course gives a free pawn to gote and that's not good.

Please check the answer in the comment. I don't think the new video is necessary. This content would be better as one video with discussion in comments.

There is a video explaining the game by pro. He said the move of K86 as surprising move. But I couldn’t see clear explanation of the meaning. I guess nobody can understand it except Fujii. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnzWfoabYpKXpJIsi=GemzmL8g1dhnx87y

@@shogiramentv64 that it is surprising, that I definitely agree with 🙂 thank you for the link! Now I understand that it is also defending against possible bishop drop by gote to B*54 square. That makes it a bit easier to understand the move 🙂

In my feeling the move was the most unbelievable one in 2024. However it would be difficult to get it. It would probably require at least one Dan level of shogi.

@@shogiramentv64 TBH I also don't understand why it is a good move. Why not just go immediately with bishop to 46? Gote will still probably draw back his rook and go for the same line. And the king would still later on move to K-77. It seems like a wasted move TBH. To me at least it seems that that was the intention. To wait one move. Force the opponent to do something. Maybe I'm overlooking something. It is unbelievable move in that, I would never expect that to be the right move. And truth be told I'm still having hard time understand why this would be better than B-46. I'm a shodan at Shogi Wars and I don't get it 🙂 So it's too difficult at my level.

@vyli1 Thanks for asking! If king just escaped immediately, gote’s rook can take a pawn at 85. This means gote can attack effectively by rook. But in the game, gote attacked by getting a pawn and dropped it to 84. Attack by pushing pawn from 84 was very slow and it needed to remove sente’s pawn at 85. This gave sente a chance to drop a pawn at 82. In addition gote got a pawn by losing his lance. This was also not good way and eventually countered from edge and game was over. So in my understanding why the king move was nice is that it looks so risky and it forced gote to focus on the attack. If Sota Fujii didn’t move his king, then gote would not attack to the king by risky way like losing his lance. I’m not sure I could share it with this explanation but I hope to share with someone.

@@shogiramentv64 i am not saying king should escape immediately. I'm saying Fujii could have moved his bishop to B-46. Which he also played in the game one move later. And I'm not sure why not play this move immediately and why waste a move by moving the king to a square that doesn't seem to improve his position.

@@vyli1 As I explained in the video, the move of K86 is not the best move in the position. In fact shogi engine does not show us the K86 as best move. It must be bad move as AI point of view. And B46 must be better move than K86 as you said. However in the real game by humans point of view, the move of K86 was really nice move to trap to make gote focus on the attack to king soon. Because the king move looks really bad and almost of players would think they got a chance to win easily. This is the trap of Fujii's king move, and that's why I created this video to share how the move was unbelievable.

I felt the same. It was just 5 moves length of thinking but quite difficult to find for humans except Fujii-san😎

Is there any error message when you put start?

Yes, this game was May 5th 2023. I’m watching latest kifu book.

@@shogiramentv64 Did you mean to say 2024? :)

@Saintmadman No, it was 2023. The latest kifu book includes from April 2023 to March 2024. I was surprised at your good memory:)

@@shogiramentv64 cool ! Thanks a lot !

Yes, this game was complex until end. In general Anaguma is quite strong so you can focus on attack, however my Anaguma in this game was weak and risky so I have to care both attack and defense🤣

In a minute😂crazy calculation ability!!

@ruthxk7844 Yes, that’s a top level of pro 😱

In a minute?! 🤯

Thanks for watching always! My current target is achieving 1000 subscribers.

Me neither 😂

You’re welcome anytime!

P2d looks nice attack but it would be risky. P2d means exchanging pawn and moving rook to 2d. N6e is strong attack when rook moved. After silver moved to 6f, knight can move to 5g. Silver cannon take the knight because your bishop will be taken by opponents bishop. That’s why G7h is necessary.

@@shogiramentv64 oh of course ! Thank you !

About this topic, I have already discussed with other non Japanese people. And there was no clear answer. Using both terminology would be nice like Shikenbisha (4th file rook). In this channel I’m using both or each one. It depends on my favorite. I don’t like Fortess, then Yagura.

Personnaly, I find good to keep original terminology. There is no clear good reason to westernize this game imo.

@shogi68 I hope Japan Shogi association will define something.

I find it perfect as it is.

@@shogi68 well, the words have meaning in Japanese. If you don't know Japanese, then the names have no meaning - they are just arbitrary sequences of sounds used as labels.

Thank you! You are uploading new videos continuously. It’s really great work! I cannot do it like you😆

@@shogiramentv64 Thank you but yours are much higher quality. :) Have a great weekend!

You’re welcome!

Many of non Japanese players are from chess so I think it’s easier to understand shogi with chess terminology.

By the way how was ESC/WOSC on Barcelona? I hope everything went well and everyone enjoyed shogi a lot😃

Kazuma Kiryu🤣 Yes, Matsuo-san is the best player for it👍

カッコいい名前❗️😎

Thanks a lot ❗️

I want to use it in real games 😆

Like nomad 😆

Thank you for watching! Yes, just giving a bishop made the one-sided game was really interesting and rare to see.

Thanks a lot! Perhaps you could make some videos on those less frequent castles?

Fashion of castles is changing like strategies. Yes, it could be interesting as videos!

Thanks for finding this video! I created this one for Ibisha players but it is interesting that Nakabisha players are also enjoying this one😁

Thanks for watching! I guess almost of beginners would through the edge bishop at first because it is the fastest way to enter opponent area😁

Yes, you’re right. Ibisha should’ve moved his king from initial position before attacking.

Unfortunately I am in Japan 🥲

Enjoy migi Shikenbisha and Elmo 😁👍

Just loose one move. R77 is unnecessary move for Ishida.
