[App Release] Shogi Lab - Sunfish Engine
Hi everyone, I’ve developed a new Shogi app called "Shogi Lab"! It’s powered by the Sunfish engine and designed for analysis and practice.

Real Game Chess Puzzle (Mate in 5)
I occasionally post interesting checkmates I encounter in real games. Here's a mate in 5.
[Solution] >!Kaku 7 x 1 Check. King captures Bishop 7 x 1. Rook 7 x 2 Check.. King 6 x 1. Rook (promotes) or Horse captures 6 x 2 checkmate. The key is that by forcing the King to the 7 x 1 square, the Horse pins the Gold General at 6 x 2 so the Gold General cannot capture the Rook placed on 7 x 2.!<
My homemade board
I was inspired by some of the other users in here, they did a really great job! So I thought I'd try my hand, and it is really fun. Excited to make the pieces, I have some red oak for those. Debating whether to make them traditional style, a more 'chess' style, or having one set of each style.
Keep in mind that im a beginner in shogi but I have dedicated a lot of time into chess. I want to know stuff like developing principles, what pieces should be used for etc etc
I’m currently developing a browser-based Shogi application called "Shogi Steps" to help people all over the world enjoy the game.
The app is designed to guide players from learning the basic rules to playing against an AI. I’ve just uploaded a short video to showcase some of its features, including the lesson and AI battle functions!
I’m currently conducting tests on the server, and everything is on track for a release within this May. I hope this becomes a great gateway for new players!
Could not find a wooden set to my liking, so I am making my own. It folds in half, so the pieces can be stored inside, and it is big, as it has 45mm squares. Next step is painting the pieces.
