posted by frankiii at 11 10 am 1 comment thursday december 17 2009 tournament complete at long last the brainking com september 2008 shogi open is complete and i was lucky enough to pull it out the first to three finals ended 3 0 in my favor primarily due to the other player walking into the same documented trap each time i remain baffled by my ability to win these matches though i feel pretty good about the results as before if anyone has the time and ability to review one or more of these matches and provide input i d appreciate it tremendously on a related note if you are a fan of shogi and have not already found the site there is a new discussion forum the 81 square universe it looks friendly and promising i haven t been able to spend much time there but i hope to do so in the future posted by frankiii at 8 59 am no comments tuesday october 20 2009 shogi teaching review resources hello again internet the finals of the 2008 september shogi open has arrived and as it turns out it is a 3 wins match which i assume means that the first player to win three matches will win the tournament since it would appear we re only playing one match at a time this could go on for a while the first match is actually about to conclude quickly as i will checkmate my opponent after his next move so that s the good news the bad news is that i m still baffled as to how i m winning any matches at all as i ve mentioned before in this blog i cannot beat even the easiest shotest shogi ai yet i m winning matches against real humans i ve been subscribing to the same theory as i did with chess com where i also won more matches than i expected basically i m thinking that i am spending far more time per move than my opponents it certainly can t be due to study or practice since i have not been working on tsume shogi lately nor have i been reading any shogi books or playing any shogi matches outside of this tournament so before i start to get a big head and think myself some sort of shogi savant i d love to have someone put me in my place by taking a look at my matches and confirming that i m terrible however i don t know of any way to get that kind of help the go community has a wonderful resource called the go teaching ladder http gtl xmp net the online go servers like kgs also provide easy interfaces to review matches with better players the chess community also seems to have similar resources along with outstanding software that can analyze games it would appear that the english speaking shogi community has none of that at least as far as i can find can anyone help or point me in the right direction thanks posted by frankiii at 9 14 am 2 comments friday august 21 2009 leggett s japanese chess i returned this week from a family vacation in toronto with a new item for the bookshelf japanese chess by trevor leggett outside of the fact that i paid basically twice the amazon price at an indigo bookstore i am pleased with the book it s most certainly for beginners even going so far as to add a silly paper board and paper pieces in the back however i was able to pick up a few ideas in the annotated sample game and the section on openings is presented well as toronto has a large japanese population and is packed full of japanese restaurants there are literally 2 or 3 on every block in the area we stayed downtown i began to wonder if i could perhaps find a new shogi board unfortunately i could find no japanese shops at all i even asked one sushi restaurant s waitress and manager for advice and they could offer no help during the trip i also became quite addicted to sudoku but that s another topic d posted by frankiii at 1 52 pm 1 comment tuesday august 04 2009 onto the finals i never thought i d say it but i m onto the finals of brainking s 2008 september shogi open each semifinal bracket contains three players and each of those three players has two matches against the other two players in the bracket this morning i checkmated my second opponent leaving me with 3 wins and an insurmountable spot in first i am up a rook and my position feels very solid in the last match so i could possibly go 4 0 in the semifinal bracket quite a surprise for someone who cannot even defeat the lowest ai in shotest shogi 3d the other bracket is still running and it would appear that it may continue for months as one player is taking two weeks per move as a result his matches are only on move 17 he also has the highest rating in the tournament so hopefully he ll lose posted by frankiii at 8 35 am no comments friday april 10 2009 early second round wins in september shogi open i must confess that i m a bit excited right now in the second round of brainking s september shogi open i ve managed to quickly earn a couple wins against one of my two opponents both games were pretty loose and crazy as we were making many moves per day but i was able to build mating attacks by applying pressure and doing my best to avoid the urge to profit materially instead of trying to capture pieces as i would in chess i tried to ignore unimportant threats and keep focus on attacking the king things worked out for the best i made a load of mistakes but i feel for the first time in my shogi career that i m reading pretty well and seeing the entire board hopefully i can keep this up in the coming weeks or months it will take to finish these other two games posted by frankiii at 9 26 am 8 comments monday april 06 2009 brainking update well here s a brief update of the september shogi open at brainking the first round has completed and since there was a three way tie in our bracket the next round just took all three of us d there are now two brackets containing three players in each posted by frankiii at 11 10 am 1 comment older
