Detailed Function Explanations

Experience authentic AI battles and enjoy two-player games on a traditional shogi board. With 40 levels of AI, beginners to advanced players can find the right challenge. Visual aids show possible moves, making it easier for newcomers to learn. The "Hint" button provides AI suggestions, along with the reasoning behind them, helping you understand better moves.

Watch matches between players and computers, or between computers themselves. Two players can face off directly on a traditional board (no online play). You can even switch to AI during a game by resuming from a paused state in examination mode.

Track your progress against AI, and engage in piece dropping, timed, and rating games. After each game, leverage the review function to analyze your moves, compare them with AI suggestions, and improve your strategy. The game record analysis function will automatically review all your moves, highlighting areas for improvement. You can save these analyses and visualize the outcomes on a graph for clearer insights.

Save your game records in files, and manage records from other apps or public databases. The app supports KIF, KI2, and CSA file formats and allows you to copy records to the clipboard. You can also store and retrieve game records from cloud services like Google Drive and Dropbox. Create custom start positions and Tsume Shogi scenarios for even more varied practice.
