Detailed Function Explanations
Experience authentic shogi play against our AI, with levels ranging from beginner-friendly to challenging. New players can easily understand the game with visual aids showing where pieces can move. Use the "Hint" button to see AI's recommended moves and understand their reasoning. Watch AI vs. AI matches or play against another person in a face-to-face setting (note: communication games are not supported). You can even switch the AI during a game for varied challenge levels. All matches against the AI are recorded, and you can customize games with piece dropping and time settings.
Post-game, leverage the review function to analyze your moves against AI's suggestions and understand situational evaluations. The game record analysis tool automatically scans for bad moves, presenting results graphically for easy understanding. Save these analyses for future reference, and visit our official website for more in-depth guidance on interpreting results.
Keep your game records organized within the app, whether from matches against our AI or imported from other shogi apps. Our app supports KIF, KI2, and CSA format files, and you can easily manage records via clipboard or cloud storage like Google Drive and Dropbox. Create custom start positions and Tsume Shogi puzzles to refine your skills further.
