[[File:Dobutsu Shogi.jpeg|thumb|Dobutsu Shogi's initial setup]]
Dobutsu Shogi (どうぶつしょうぎ), subtitled ''Let's Catch the Lion'', is a miniature shogi variant created by ladies professional player [[Madoka Kitao]]. The game was made to appeal to young children, especially girls. It is played on a 3x4 board with four types of pieces. It generally follows the same rules as normal shogi, including the drop rule, except that players can win by moving their lion to the final rank of the board.

Uwate / Shitate

2024-01-13T10:27:02Z

RikoDLC: Fixed wording, added link to sente/gote

In handicap shogi games, a different naming convention for [[Sente / Gote|players]] is used:

'''Uwate''' (上手 ''uwate'') - the player who is giving the handicap; playing with a certain disadvantage. In notation described with ☖ symbol (or ⛉ on diagrams).

'''Shitate''' (下手 ''shitate'') - the player who is receiving the handicap; playing with a certain advantage. In notation described with ☗ symbol (or ⛊ on reversed diagrams).

It is a rule that in exchange for giving the handicap, uwate is allowed to make the first move. On shogi diagrams they still will be shown with ⛉ diagram with pieces on top of the board (reversed).

Hidetchi is an amateur shogi player and promoter from Japan. He created a substantial amount of Youtube videos about shogi, and is the creator and administrator of [[81dojo]]. He has done the translation of several shogi books for Nekomado, and wrote the Hidetchi Japanese-English Shogi Dictionary. He began creating shogi videos on Youtube on September 5, 2008, starting with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkz0LVBg0W4 How to play Shogi(将棋) -Lesson#1- Introduction]. He has made over 150 videos discussing how to play, tactics, and strategy, as well as demonstrations of famous artistic tsume problems and professional shogi games. His videos are still often recommended as a good place to start learning shogi.

Shogi-L, or the Shogi Discussion List, is an internet shogi community founded by Pieter Stouten for Shogi.net on May 6, 1990. It began as a mailing list, where users would subscribe to have messages e-mailed to them personally every time a message was shared. For many years, this was the primary way English-speaking shogi players communicated, talking about shogi news, asking questions, and discussing pro games. Shogi.net still contains a record of all messages sent in the list, and has archived all games shared, both professional and amateur.

On July 21, 2008, Shogi-L moved from Topica to Google Groups, where it currently resides. While not very active, Shogi-L remains a place to easily contact many shogi players all over the world.

Static Rook

2024-01-11T11:41:46Z

RikoDLC: RikoDLC moved page Static rook to Static Rook

Static Rook (居飛車 ibisha) is one of two main opening strategies (the other being [[Ranging Rook]]). As part of a Static Rook strategy, the rook is kept on the right side of the board (its relative position remains "static") and the king is typically castled to the left. Static Rook openings were originally the main way to play shogi, and they have been studied quite extensively, leading to many well-known and sharp lines. A game where both players use a Static Rook strategy is known as a "Double Static Rook" (相居飛車 ai ibisha) game, and a game where one player uses a Static Rook strategy while the other plays a Ranging Rook strategy is known as an "Opposition" (対抗型 taikoukei) game, sometimes simply referred to as "Static vs Ranging Rook". Both kinds of games can contain Rapid Attacks (急戦 kyuusen) or become Slow Games (持久戦 jikyuusen, literally "war of attrition").

= Rook Position =
Each of the below openings is considered a Static Rook strategy, typically named after the file that the Rook attacks from. Use the links to find more detailed information on each one.

[[1st-File Rook]]

[[Static Rook]] (opening)

[[Sleeve Rook]] (Right 3rd-File)

[[Right 4th-File Rook]]

= Double Static Rook =
Double Static Rook games are among the most challenging, as their lines have been thoroughly studied and play tends to be very aggressive, with the rooks aimed directly at the kings. These games can be divided into four main categories, with two others becoming popular in recent years. They are:

== Yagura ==
[[Yagura (Strategy)]] (矢倉 yagura)

== Bishop Exchange ==
[[Bishop Exchange]] (角換わり kakugawari)

== Double Wing Attack ==
[[Double Wing Attack]] (相掛かり aigakari)

== Side Pawn Picker ==
[[Side Pawn Picker]] (横歩取り yoko fudori), also called "Side Pawn Taker"

== Gangi ==
[[Gangi (Strategy)]] (雁木 gangi)

== Gote's Tempo Loss Bishop Exchange ==
[[Gote's Tempo Loss Bishop Exchange]] (後手番一手損角換わり goteban itte zon kakugawari, literally "Gote One-turn-loss Bishop Exchange")

== Castles ==
As the main attack will be coming directly at the king's head, Double Static Rook Castles typically focus on defending attacks from the front. Castles considered advantageous for a Double Static Rook game are:

=== Crab ===
[[Crab Castle]] (カニ囲い kani gakoi)

=== Yagura ===
[[Yagura Castle]] (矢倉囲い yagura gakoi)

=== Gangi ===
[[Gangi Castle]] (雁木囲い gangi gakoi), also called "Snow Roof"

= Opposition =
Opposition games often contain a sort of preliminary fight, where both sides attempt to break through the weaker side, promote their rooks, and then come at the king from the side. The games take shape depending on the strategy employed by the Ranging Rook player.

== vs Central Rook ==

== vs 4th-File ==

== vs 3rd-File ==

== vs Ishida ==

== vs Opposing Rook ==

== Castles ==
As it is often dangerous to expose your king, and both kings are likely to be castled on the same side of the board, the endgame almost always begins with an attack from the side. Thus, both players tend to build castles which can resist attacks from the side. This includes:

=== Boat　===
[[Boat Castle]] (舟囲い funagakoi)

=== elmo　===
[[elmo Castle]] (elmo囲い gakoi)

=== Left Mino　===
Left [[Mino Castle]] (左美濃囲い hidari mino gakoi)

=== Bonanza　===
[[Bonanza Castle]] (ボナンザ囲い bonanza gakoi)

Ranging Rook

2024-01-11T10:43:43Z

RikoDLC: added "is" to the second paragraph.

Ranging Rook (振り飛車 furibisha), also known as "Swinging Rook", is one of two main opening strategies (the other being [[Static rook]]). As part of a Ranging Rook strategy, the rook is "swung", to the left side of the board and the king is typically castled to the right, in the space the rook has vacated. Ranging Rook strategies are a bit newer, and have not been studied as extensively as Static Rook strategies, making them a popular choice for players who wish to avoid theory. A game where both players use a Ranging Rook strategy is known as a "Double Ranging Rook" (相振り飛車 ai furibisha) game, and a game where one player uses a Static Rook strategy while the other plays a Ranging Rook strategy is known as an "Opposition" (対抗型 taikoukei) game, sometimes simply referred to as "Static vs Ranging Rook". Both kinds of games can contain Rapid Attacks (急戦 kyuusen) or become Slow Games (持久戦 jikyuusen, literally "war of attrition").

= Rook Position =
Each of the below openings is considered a Ranging Rook strategy, typically named after the file that the Rook attacks from. Use the links to find more detailed information on each one.

[[Central Rook]]

[[4th-File Rook]]

[[3rd-File Rook]]

[[Ishida Style]]

[[Opposing Rook]] (2nd-File)

[[Right 4th-File Rook]]

= Double Ranging Rook =
Double Ranging Rook games were traditionally very uncommon, but are not unheard of in modern play. Outside of Double Central Rook, these games follow the same pattern as Double Static Rook games, with the kings typically castling to opposite sides and the rooks aiming at the kings' heads. Rather than listing out each type of Double Ranging Rook game, it is easier to categorize the sub strategies based on whether the bishop is <b>opened</b> or <b>closed</b>.

== Open Bishop ==

== Closed Bishop ==

== Castles ==
As the main attack will be coming directly at the king's head, Double Ranging Rook Castles typically focus on defending attacks from the front. Castles considered advantageous for a Double Ranging Rook game are:

=== Peerless Golds ===
[[Peerless Golds Castle]] (金無双 kin musou)

=== Right Yagura ===
[[Right Yagura Castle]] (右矢倉 migi yagura)

=== Silver Crown ===
[[Silver Crown Castle]] (銀冠 gin kanmuri)

=== Ranging Rook Anaguma ===
[[Anaguma Castle]] (穴熊囲い anaguma castle, "badger"), previously translated to "Bear-in-the-hole"

= Opposition =
Opposition games often contain a sort of preliminary fight, where both sides attempt to break through the weaker side, promote their rooks, and then come at the king from the side. The games take shape depending on the strategy employed by the Ranging Rook player.

== Central Rook ==

== 4th-File ==

== 3rd-File ==

== Ishida ==

== Opposing Rook ==

== Castles ==
As it is often dangerous to expose your king, and both kings are likely to be castled on the same side of the board, the endgame almost always begins with an attack from the side. Thus, both players tend to build castles which can resist attacks from the side. This includes:

=== Half Mino　===
Half Mino (片美濃囲い kata mino gakoi), also called "Incomplete Mino"

=== Mino　===
[[Mino Castle]] (美濃囲い mino gakoi)

=== High Mino　===
High Mino (高美濃囲い taka mino gakoi)

=== Anaguma　===
[[Anaguma]] (穴熊囲い anaguma gakoi, "badger"), previously translated to "Bear-in-the-hole"
