How Quickly Can I Beat a Professional Shogi Master??

[@ikkue]

If you are still confused about how it works, I really recommend watching the original VOD, because Karolina explained it really nicely. The editing on this might be too fast-paced if you actually wanna learn Shogi. I know because I watched the VOD before this video even came out

[@kaldogorath]

For me the biggest difficulty is keeping track of the pieces. I can't read kanji so it's all just noise, and it's hard to get the meanings to stick

[@sinom]

@@kaldogorath most online tools also have alternative symbols for the pieces. They either replace them with the letter the English translation of the piece begins with, or a symbol representing how the piece can move. Though I'd say that after playing a few games you should be able to recognise the pieces. Like when playing a new card game it will also take a few games before you memorised what winning hands are. It takes a bit of time but is doable

[@VAL3NTIN3]

What is a VOD? And where can I find it?

[@spiffinz]

@@VAL3NTIN3 prob some nerd shit who cares

[@sandilemlambo5701]

Joey got me into Mahjong, and now I am about to get into Shogi because of you. Thanks a lot mate, now I have more to do with my free time and keep up the great work

[@DrJustininJapan]

😂 this is your goal for 2022!!

[@zilongma5067]

Hi, I'm not Joey obviously but if I think you should give GO a try if you like those games.

[@cabbage_cat]

same

[@sick0fthis]

I got into Kaiji which in turn got me into Akagi and now I play mahjong every day

[@tovarishchfeixiao]

@@zilongma5067 Yup, Go is really a very good game.

[@FrenchDinosaur]

The 2 hardest things for me to learn in shogi was: 1. The drop mechanic, because I often forget about my captured pieces. 2. That satisfying tap sound you hear when watching professionals play. I don't even know how many times I accidentally hurt my finger by trying to imitate that. I can do it now tho.

[@slightlybored]

the tap is the hardest part of playing this game

[@akhorr7560]

Editor clearly needs a raise

[@sulaygonzaga2728]

yeah the editing is very very good

[@kaldogorath]

Pee?

[@ishitachhabra5072]

ig its joey himself

[@kazeku3704]

@Nadea true mudan a goat but he does overedit sometimes

[@TigerBud]

@Nadea a tad yeah

[@HypnoGenX]

Been dying to see western-friendly coverage on shogi. After learning it I've found it massively more enjoyable and exciting than chess. Trash Taste shogi tournament onegaishimasu.

[@Crustee0]

What bot do you train with? I find the mobile app shogi have either too easy or too hard bot.

[@HypnoGenX]

@@Crustee0 Yep, that's a big issue. Using Kanazawa Shogi 2, and the bot is brutal. Like 300 difficulty settings and it starts at Murder. :-P

[@tovarishchfeixiao]

@@HypnoGenX Then i guess the 300th difficulty is maybe 3million tsar bombs dropped down at once?

[@azurecomet86]

Need more shogi content like this please. Would love to see your progress and quest to beat the master.

[@YeYe-wz1wi]

More mahjong and shogi please 👍👍👍

[@gabrielpoubel1077]

I really like it

[@greedymetal6743]

Didn't expect Karolina here. Greetings from Poland

[@FyreMagyk67]

Your editor, Joey, is top notch. You better hold onto them for dear life because they are damn good, but you knew that last part. DON'T LET GO!

[@DrJustininJapan]

YEAH!! the editing was insanely good for this video 😮

[@koksu5692]

love the editing

[@EvaFuji]

How interesting I finished watching sangatsu no lion and I'm currently reading the manga then this shows up 🧐

[@enjoyereheheh]

So how many times did you cry ?

[@EvaFuji]

@@enjoyereheheh zero I always smiled at the emotional scenes they were so beautiful but in the first episodes I teared up a bit when I saw Rei it was really depressing

[@cameronburnett9679]

Joey is getting people into Shogi but got me out of it. I tried to learn it after watching ３月のライオン (March comes in like a lion) then I saw him playing chess and thought "fuck it, I'll start with something easier".

[@Gummylongtail]

I didn't give a flying fuck about shogi but damn was the rest of 3gatsu no lion one of the best things i've ever watched

[@QWERTY-gp8fd]

@@Gummylongtail so u do give flying fuck about shogi

[@frowndere6597]

Joey does anything random. Sensei: so this is an actual strategy.

[@acemaison2834]

Shogi is like checkers & chess’s genius offspring and it’s very interesting ngl

[@Riku-Leela]

Watching shogi as a chess player I can say that placement of stolen pieces is fkn insane

[@mlee5366]

it is possible to do this with bughouse

[@HOPE-ym3nj]

My Sangatsu no Lion heart is so happy to see shogi content, I have tried to learn as a result of it…

[@smoggert]

Same, I even bought a Shogi board as souvenir when visiting Japan because of it ! Still in the "tried" to learn phase though :D

[@zenko3906]

and my hifumi togo energy is rubbing off

[@GraceLum]

lol she learned it through naruto I learned it through watching "March comes in like a lion" a shogi based anime its actually good if anyone wants to watch!

[@p_a_t_h6237]

Joey doesn't like chess that much so he wasn't playing in the chess tournament. Joey proceeds to learn Shogi aka Chess on crack.

[@katalysis]

Imagine trying to beat your chess teacher in a couple of hours of playing but your starting lesson is learning how the pieces move. That's Joey.

[@ZainAK283]

Would LOVE to see more shogi stuff in the future!

[@ariespics]

hell yeah! I've been waiting for this for so long since the Tournament Arc in Trash Taste

[@pedrostormrage]

0:36 "Wait, you learned (about) Shogi through Naruto?" "Yeah" "Well, then" You can hear the disappointment in Joey's voice 😂

[@lunaakuma5044]

I love how the most professional Shogi player is... Polish based off of her name and her accent. That gives me some National pride

[@Crustee0]

Iirc he at the very top of shogi world, but still a really good and i think even pro level player. But for international/english shogi content? Yes she is really good compared to other youtuber. Theres this other youtuber that i used as reference to learn the rule a bit more in depth, but he is japanese so sometimes its a bit hard to understand what he says.

[@nosami5268]

Indeed, Karolina Styczińska is Polish and she's an absolute unique person. This video is just a show to promote Shogi (this man will never win against a real Shogi professional 😊). The world of Shogi is difficult to enter and even harder to stay in. All professional Shogi players are employees of the Japanese Shogi Association. There are certain age barriers and the selection is brutal, players must leave if they don't make the expected progress. Women are professionals in the sense that they are employees and paid for their playing, but they have their own league system. Apart from that, there is an open league system (for men AND women) with 9 master classes, and in Japan only the players of the highest 5 classes are considered as the "real professionals". As far as I know, there was never a female player such highly ranked, and as far as I know Karolina is the only non Japanese person that became a woman's professional. 😮 This game is still too Japanese. I live in the second largest city in Germany and even here there is no Shogi club (I learned Chess in 1964 and prefer to play against "real" people. 🧙‍♂️) 👍🙋🏻‍♂️

[@摂理の空白]

I found lishogi several months ago and I've been playing shogi daily. Its hella fun

[@joshuaxiong8377]

That spawn mechanic is nuts. It's starting to feel like a Protoss mirror match in StarCraft.

[@fanach]

march comes like a lion flashback

[@sinom]

An English shogi video! Nice.

[@DrJustininJapan]

YES!!!!

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I'm calling this "January Comes in Like a Lion".

[@sotongsaito9825]

Wow! Joey play SHOGI with Karolina styczynska.

[@heliokester8164]

Your Sensei was really funny and swag, Joey! Would love to see you play Shogi again :D

[@Pepsiisgood]

Now i can finally understand Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru a little more now

[@DrJustininJapan]

exactly what i was thinking too!!

[@sediew]

Finally someone mentions it. Now I can understand why Ayumu can’t beat senpai

[@dekametr]

BTW there is short anime about her: Susume, Karolina !

[@splnter648]

Ah didn’t expect there for Karo to be here. Good to know she’s been able to cooperate with content creator to spread the joy of shogi

[@emolawolf]

Omg, someone from Poland on Joey's Channel! :O

[@mephiles5073]

Omg a polish girl on your channel Joey. I am so happy ❤️

[@MrLetsmakeachange]

Joey should have pulled the climbing silver on her, that would have worked. Certainly worked for Asuna.

[@DrJustininJapan]

yeeesss 😆

[@hachirou.sensei]

I just started watching 3-Gatsu no Lion a few days ago and Joey uploads this video.

Ho....souyokoto ka! Omoshiroii

[@kiraotic6489]

this video has more editing effects than any of joey's main channel videos

[@OneFinalAutumn]

The only way to beat a master is by draining their mental stamina and driving them to insanity.

[@fernplant6816]

This is exactly how my first chess match against a friend who knew way more about chess than me (they knew strategies and traps, I was still learning how the pieces moved). Basically since I had no clue what traps were, I was inadvertently avoiding every trap she put down without thinking (I think it was just luck). I was also an asshole and I would move my pieces back and forth from one position back to the previous if I didn’t know what to do. She basically was so flabbergasted by my shit techniques that ended up working. Edit: I do know more about chess now and I’m not an asshole when I play

[@auscluff]

Just shuffling your pieces around when you don't know what to do can be pretty powerful in chess

[@Crustee0]

Only works if the "master" u speak about is just slightly above beginner level haha. For appropriately skillful player they will either crush you immediately or just handicap themselves to help you learn

[@shafo827]

Didn't really understand much but all i knew was how good and funny Joey's editor is

[@sondres.8021]

I remember I watched a series on youtube about shogi with like 50 episodes from, idk, before 2010.. so that's how I learned it

[@davidmella1174]

Was it from Hidetchi? I think that's the one. It may be old but it's still one of the best. That's actually where I learned shogi myself.

[@yuumi4871]

The editing in this video is top notch

[@lupinajefferson6337]

Still. Nobody can beat Veldora,when it comes to shogi

[@DrJustininJapan]

100% agree!! 👌

Now I know why kiriyama rei is depressed as fuck

[@jessicabunbun620]

Idk if anyone will ever read this, but there are a few Shogi worlds in vrchat. You can drag your friends there and teach them how the pieces move, and the chaos begins from there xD

[@mikawa1314]

Hope you can give Go/Baduk a go someday (sorry about the pun). It’s a very easy game to get into (but very hard to master)
