the BEST Shogi Opening for Chess Players

Have you ever played a game of shogi where you were massacred by your opponent out of the opening? If that sounds like you, then this video on the URESHINO will be an easy fix to avoid mainline Joseki, and help you move past the opening and into the endgame, where your chess tactical skills will carry you through!
Here is the Ureshino study I mentioned in the video: lishogi.org/st...
I am streaming at twitch.tv/shogilifestyle so come join me there 😃 (I'll be preparing for the first fixture of the World Shogi League starting this March, so will be streaming a lot!)
Also, if you are a shogi player from the UK, we have a new shogi discord server called the "British Shogi Group" where we will be promoting in-person and online tournaments, sharing shogi resources, and much more! Feel free to join the group here: / discord

I'm japanese shogi player. Ureshino system isn't major fighting.Because, japanese professional shogi players didn't use Ureshino system.But, I'm interesting how to new fighting . So I'm happy to upload this movie.I'm not good at writing English.I'm sorry.

Your English is great! Your ideas are understandable and that's the most important part. Good luck in your studies.

I personally prefer the gokigen nakabisha or another furibisha type opening I think my favourite is Gokigen and Shiken.

[@granddaddy_funk]

You say fighting, I think you mean tactics. I got what you meant though.

[@strategygames1026]

The one thing that's wild about Shogi is just how easy it is for a lethal attack to come out of nowhere.
The restricted mobility of pieces, especially backwards seems to allow check-mates out of absolutely nothing.

[@DarkThomy]

It's an all the more fearsome opening that Hidetchi didn't make a video about it !
I believe it wasn't popular (or even created..) back in the days..
So, very hard to find material on how to counter it.. but thanks for your link in the description !

As pointed out by Timezombi in the Chess Lifestyle discord, on move 47 G*53 is (obviously) completely fine since if Rook takes, bishop takes back and promotes!!! So apologies for that miss in the analysis, clearly still need work on my one move captures 🤣🤣

[@StopFear]

Thank you for making this and other shogi videos! Any shogi resources, and especially knowledgeable instruction, in English is very sparse online so this helps a lot!

[@bismarcksenpai7782]

love the video, I had been confused about this opening for quiet a while now

[@toondemaere3080]

I would not mind you making more opening explanation videos. I love static room myself but would love to know what’s good about ranging rook openings.

[@clearlypellucid]

2:28 If gold takes, isn't a rook drop at 3-2 much better than a second striking pawn on the gold? It forks the king and the knight. He could defend with a silver drop under the gold, but then you can take the pawn with the rook in your camp with promotion, he has to take it with the gold because the silver is pinned, then you can take the silver with promotion and check with your rook and fork the gold threatening the knight in the next move. The only available moves for him then are a rook drop to block your rook's attack or for the king to run to the back rank, in which case you can take the knight with check. So you'd trade a rook for a silver, a gold, and a knight and completely destroy his left flank. If he blocks with the rook you can take the knight and escape.

I think you meant 22:28

17:00 Hey, just saw your video, I'm VictorC ! Thank you for sharing my study 🤓 It would need an update though, some informations could be more accurate, I was not that accustomed to this strategy one year ago !

[@FishFish431]

I know this video is a year old, but I think you're around my level at this current video (although I think I am a little better, since I learnt this in primary school). The best games are when you can go beyond your opening and find your own ideas in the chaos. That 1 Dan game must have been exhilarating!

Let's all put down our LiShogi account here, I want to play human badly in shogi

[@VladTsyb]

Thanks!

[@theyhaventfedmesince]

... I'd just play London

[@_rmradziq8537]

Bro😂 I'm gonna go with sicilian then

[@Chess_Player_lol]

if you want to start improving you might want to look into the catalan ;)

[@mareksicinski449]

1. f4 and especially 1. b3 aren't about 'going hard in on the attack' so much

[@user-zh5hs5xy6h]

Keep the secrets to your self 🧐

[@BobChess]

This is cool but what pieces are those? 💀
