[@RayVitoles]

Nice game,the endgame tactics in pro shogi are so complex...

[@VisuallyMediocre]

YAAAY a new video =] I love these =]

[@k13scdude]

Been awhile since the last video posted. I still want to know what the name of this song is. Kinda gives the shogi atmosphere play

At 16:32, black can drop the gold at 2b square to make a check, white has to move the silver in 1c to take the gold, and then the promoted pawn can just proceed to take the silver and make a checkmate at square 2b.

[@yourfavshaggymain4599]

yes.. that's what a threatmate is

[@FaheemKudo]

wow beautiful ending by Watanabe

[@VladTsyb]

Thanks.

[@TheOriginal1998]

@ 6:15 why not bishop fork at 3-9?

[@Biogsguy]

Nice commentary!

[@jacksonwilliams3873]

Why did you stop uploading? Just curious and love your videos!

[@inarisound]

He found a girlfriend

[@vyli1]

Actually he has been married and had a child even as he created these videos. From what I remember, Hidetchi had to relocate for his job to Europe and then after few years back to Japan and I guess that's the reason he's not uploading anymore.

At 13:49 a Gold drop on 8g by White would be a checkmate would it not?

[@Silvergrooves42]

King runs to 6h?

[@Mitchlb452]

12:56 Can White ignore at that point? I don't see that White can get an immediate checkmate, and at that point, Black can take the pawn on 3c with the bishop - taking a piece that has absolutely no value on the board as is and forcing the knight out of position to take it, which, if taken with the gold, can lead to a threat mate.

[@BimboG]

Thanks :)

[@k13scdude]

what is the name of the music?

[@peter-laputayung4889]
