How to Use five basic tactics on the chess-like game Shogi

"How to Use five basic tactics on the chess-like game Shogi" cover image

Do you like chess? How about Japanese chess? Aren't there different chess variants in Japan though? Maybe, but this specific chess variant is called Shogi. The chess-like game Shogi is won by capturing the king, just like chess, but defeat is conceded at mate, or when mate becomes unavoidable.

This three-part video tutorial gives you a lesson on how to use five basic tactics on the Shogi board. These five basics Shogi tactics are "Fork," "Skewer," "Discovery," "Pin," and "Defender removal." If you already know how to read the Chinese characters on the Shogi pieces, then you'll fly through this lesson like it's nothing. You won't believe how similar Shogi is to actual chess.
