Shogi Deluxe

Arcforge Shogi Deluxe is Japanese chess made carefully: a real-time 3D board with wedge-shaped wooden pieces, a computer opponent you can trust, and everything you need to learn the game and get better. PLAY - Eight computer levels from first-timer to a strong amateur, plus an Adaptive level that follows your results. - Choose Black or White, add a handicap (lance, bishop, rook and more) and an optional clock. - Minishogi: the quick 5x5 board for short games and training. - Two players on one device, with the board turning to face whoever moves. - Watch & Learn: two engines play while every move is explained. Pause, step, change the speed. - Full rules done right: drops, promotion, nifu, no pawn-drop mate, repetition, perpetual check and the impasse declaration. LEARN - Sixteen hands-on lessons: you make every move. Meet each piece one at a time, then promotion, drops, check, checkmate and your first tactics. - 190 tsume (mating puzzles) in nine packs, from mate in one to mate in seven, each proven by the app's own solver. A new daily puzzle with a streak. - Castle trainer: build Mino, Yagura and Anaguma move by move, and drill six opening lines with the reason for every move. - A coach rates each move and draws the better one. Ask Think for a hint with a plain-English reason. - Game review with an evaluation graph and a button that jumps to your mistakes. Copy any game as a KIF record.
