5. References and links

- -

- -There are very few English-language books for people learning shogi. -The two I recommend are: -

- -

    - -
  1. -Shogi for Beginners, 2nd. Edition, by John Fairbairn. This is a -superb beginner's book in every way, covering all phases of the game. -It was out of print for a long time, but has now been reprinted and is -available either from Kiseido (http://www.labnet.or.jp/~kiseido) -or from George Hodges (see below). -

    - -

  2. -The Art of Shogi, by Tony Hoskings. This is one step up from the -Fairbairn book. It covers a lot of ground, and is especially noteworthy -for its detailed treatment of opening lines. You can order this book -from Amazon.com's UK branch (http://www.amazon.co.uk). -

    - -

-

- -Another book you may find is Shogi: Japan's Game of Strategy by -Trevor Leggett. This book is very elementary and is somewhat outdated, -having been published first in 1966. However, it does feature a paper -shogi board and punch-out pieces, so if you want a really cheap shogi -set you might pick this book up. It is still in print. -

- -Two books that are no longer in print but are definitely worth getting -if you find them are Guide to Shogi Openings and Better -Moves for Better Shogi, both by Aono Teriuchi. They are published in a -bilingual edition (English/Japanese) and are the only books on shogi in -English written by a Japanese professional shogi player. John Fairbairn -did the translation from Japanese to English. -

- -Shogi sets are available from: -

- -

-George F. Hodges
-P.O. Box 77
-Bromley, Kent
-United Kingdom BR1 2WT -
-

- -George also sells equipment for all the historical shogi variants -(see section 2.4 Shogi variants) (except for Kyoku tai shogi) and also sells -back issues of the magazine "Shogi" which he published for 70 issues -in the late 70's to late 80's. This magazine is STRONGLY recommended; -it contains more information about shogi in English than you will ever -find anywhere else. -

- -Here are some useful URLs: -

- -

- -
Pieter Stouten's shogi page: http://www.shogi.net -
This is the main shogi-related site on the internet, with links to -almost all the other sites. -

- -

Roger Hare's shogi page: http://www.ed.ac.uk/~rjhare/shogi -
This has lots of information, including full rules to most of the shogi -variants. -

- -

Patrick Davin's Shogi Nexus: http://www.vega.or.jp/~patrick/shogi/ -
There's lots of cool stuff on this site; my favorite is the extensive -collection of Tsume-shogi (mating) problems, both for beginners and -more advanced players. -

- -

Steve Evans' shogi page: http://www.netspace.net.au/~trout/index.html -
Steve has written a program that plays almost all of the shogi variants, -unfortunately it only runs on Windows :-( -

- -

Hans Bodlaender's chess variant pages: http://www.cs.ruu.nl/~hansb/d.chessvar -
This page has an almost unimaginable variety of rules for different -chess variants, including many shogi variants (historical and non-historical). -
