Just a few words ...
Dear shogi friends, this year’s edition of the Shogi Yearbook is not only about shogi but also about its western brother, chess. Chess Grandmaster Peter Heine Nielsen describes in his report two well known shogi masters who are also successful in playing chess. But the focus is of course shogi. This yearbook was only possible with the kind support of many shogi fans.
I want to thank Karolina Styczyńska for her second report about her way to become a shogi pro, Misako Iijima-Rövekamp for her photos of the ESC/WOSC 2014 in Budapest, Bernhard C. März for his great software 'BCM Games', Peter Heine Nielsen for his two reports and the interview, Fabien Osmont and other participants of the International Shogi Forum for their photos, Wojciech Jedyna and Maciej Pogorzelsk for their report and photos about a shogi tournament in Wroclaw, and MANABU Terao for the permission of using articles he published first in the forum of 81squareuniverse. If you have suggestions for next year's edition, reports, photos and good ideas, please send them to [email protected] .
I hope you will enjoy the Shogi Yearbook 2014!

Here are annotations of Manabu Terao Quote: The result was shameless. I felt Shueso was stronger in a comprehensive way. (by 5th dan Sugai, at the media conference just after the match)
Quote: Shueso gives a different impression comparing with last year after I have seen up to the 76th move. This game does not seem to be a match between human and machine, it looks like a game between human players. I have not seen a machine-like move so far. I think that Takeuchi-san(the developer) has improved it to that degree. (by 7th dan Iino Kenji, one of the official watchmen of this game).
Quote: I have an impression that Shueso played very well in this game, rather than the professional player made a mistake. (6th dan Katagami Daisuke, one of the official watchmen of this game.)
According to the article written by 8th dan Senzaki Manabu about the game between Sugai vs Shueso, Sugai practiced approximately 200 games against Shueso at home and he replied to Senzaki that the results were 95-97. He played 11 games of them with the same time control as the match on March 15.
According to Watanabe Akira Blog, Watanabe wrote that he predicted human team would take the lead under the condition that they could study the lent software on the same machine as the matches but it was likely to have to renew his recognition about how strong machines are judging from the fact that 5th dan Sugai was beaten.

Here are annotations of Manabu Terao Many people have been surprised to see normal Shikenbisha(meaning blocking bishop diagonal by itself) blew off Ibisha Anaguma. The number of games with normal Shikenbisha has significantly lessen among professional players since Ibisha Anagma became popular. Many professional players were impressed by Yaneuraoh's 57.P-7c+, Pawn sacrifice with promotion, since it could allow Gote's idle-looking Rook on the 8th file to get promoted to 7h thus it is hard for human to feel worthy of calculating the sequential moves deeply.
Two Crown Watanabe Akira wrote something daring about the second game in his blog. Here is my translation.
Quote: "Yaneuraoh took the game and the Machines won two games in a row. Each software seems to have the same strength. It looked Sato took the lead, but I cannot see a clear idea of how to make it to victory. We tend to consider we have a better position with a knight up and the King in Anaguma, however, I feel that such human evaluation is a question in the game.
We thought that humans were advantageous under the condition that they could study in advance using the lending machines, but that pre-show attention is turning out to be wrong with the two games played so far. Sugai-kun seemed to experience an unknown position after he practiced slightly less than 200 games at home with Sente. Assuming the advantage of pre-study is lesser than expected, what is the power relationship between human and machines will become clearer with the rest three games. Let's see what's happening."

Here are annotations of Manabu Terao YSS's 22.K-6b is controversial since professional players have never played it but they have played 22.K-5b instead, which does not allow Sente's B*2a effectively. Some say 22.K-6b was simply a bad move, but others say 22.K-6b was a possible invention which would turn out to be valid.
The developer of YSS has disclosed the log of every move. http://www32.ocn.ne.jp/~yss/toyoshima_yss.txt
Toyoshima said he had some experiences of the position up to the 25.B*2a during his study with YSS at home beforehand, but it was his second time to encounter YSS's reply of 26.S-3a in the match. It played 26.B*4d almost all the time and 26.S*3a was only once during his preparation. So Toyoshima seemed to have some deep ideas after the position of 26.B*4d but was not well prepared for the position of 26.S-3a.
Yamashita, the YSS developer, said t was impressive there were no positions where the evaluation values were favorable to YSS during the game.

Here are annotations of Manabu Terao Watanabe wrote in his blog that the machines seem stronger than I expected though I had thought the rule of lending the same machines in advance would give humans advantage.
According to Asahi Shimbun, Habu mentioned about the first and the second games. "There were no machine moves that made me feel something wrong. That's something amazing itself."
Many people including professional players said, "It's like a game between Morishita and Morishita." It means that Tsutsukana's playing style and Morishita's in the game were very much alike. He is usually a pawn grabber and likes building thickness of generals. He is considered the last person who runs out of pawns in hand. There is a popular joke. If you have five pawns in hand, You have a set of Morishita. If you have ten Pawns in hand, you have two sets of Morishita.
Ichimaru-san, who is the developer of Tsutsukana, disclosed the thought log of Tsutsukana about the game. Here it is. It's Western friendly since everything is recorded in alphabets and numbers. http://d.hatena.ne.jp/minute_hand/20140406/1396792080

What surprised many professional players including two crown Watanabe was that Ponanza tried to mate Yashiki's Bishop to begin with 60.L*1f and that it dropped a Silver on 88.7i to let the King escape away to the 9th file. Watanabe wrote in his blog. "After appearing in Nico Nico live, I examined the game in the JSA building. Some moves that human cannot think of have been played such as 60.L*1f and 88.S*7i. I'm not sure they were the best moves or not right now, but I feel like watching something incredible."
Tanigawa, JSA's chaiman, told that machines are equal to or stronger than middle class professional players at the media conference after the game.
Summary Sugai Tatsuya – SHUSO 0-1 YANEURA - Sato Shinya 1-0 Toyoshima Masayuki – YSS 1-0 TSUTSUKANA - Morishita Taku 1-0 Yashiki Nobuyuki – PONANZA 0-1
So this year the computer software could win the competition with 4-1.

Shogi Tournament Wroclaw (Poland)
This report was written by Wojciech Jedynak, Photos are by Maciej Pogorzelski. Thanks for your article.The whole article can be found here: http://www.shogi.wroclaw.pl/wroclaw-shogi- open/tournament-report
On Saturday, 28th of June, 2014 we had the pleasure to organize the first shogi tournament in Wrocław. It was a joint effort of the Polish Shogi Association and the Polish-Japanese Friendship Foundation “NAMI”. The tournament took place at the headquarters of NAMI, at Energetyczna street 14.
As many as 14 players took part in the main shogi event, and for many of them it has been their first real-life shogi tournament. Some of them (including the winner Krzysztof Sieja and Kamil Michaluk (3rd place)) have achieved a high level of play only by playing shogi on-line. However, as they have told us, live games bring a new joy to the game and are very thrilling.

Before the tournament we made an effort to create a shogi community in Wrocław. Before 2014, there have been only 3 active players in Wrocław (Krzysztof Sieja, Mateusz Chojnacki, Wojciech Jedynak) and they met only from time to time. Since 30th march, 2014, when Krzysiek has organized a shogi workshop together with NAMI, this number has more than doubled and 7 players from Wrocław took part in the shogi tournament:
148
Shogi Yearbook 2014 Shogi Tournament Wroclaw (Poland)
To achieve this we have organized both regular shogi workshops (twice a week during the month before the tournament) and occasional events (in the Japanese garden). All of the participants from Wrocław attended at least some of those classes.
149
Shogi Yearbook 2014 Shogi Tournament Wroclaw (Poland)
Besides the main shogi event, we held a small Dobutsu shogi tournament. The winners were Mikołaj Klęk (the youngest player) and Maciej Pogorzelski, who both have participated in our classes.

Shogi Yearbook 2014 Shogi Tournament Wroclaw (Poland)
In order to promote also other aspects of the Japanese and Polish cultures during the event, we have provided a lunch consisting of homemade sushi and barszcz (a traditional Polish soup).
The tournament was held under the patronage of the Wrocław’s Bureau of Sports, the Japanese culture website www.japonia-online.pl and the main Polish shogi webstite www.shogi.pl. We received Dobutsu shogi equipment from our sponsors Nekomado, Ltd and Egmont Polska. Mariusz Stanaszek of Polish Shogi Association was the referee and he brought all of the required shogi equipment for the main tournament. The venue and all of the side events (doubutsu shogi tournament, homemade sushi for lunch etc) were provided and prepared by the Polish-Japanese Friendship Foundation “NAMI”.

Following a Dream
Since October 2013 Karolina Styczyńska lives in Japan and takes part in the ‘Kenshukai’, a professional trainingsprogram of the Japan Shogi Association. In the last Shogi Yearbook she wrote about her first months in Japan. Here is her report about her year 2014.
City of Kofu, Japan
Here I have been living for little more than a year. Regulary going to Tokyo, playing in Kenshukai... Sometimes winning, sometimes losing. Time passed by.
What have changed since last Shogi Year Book report?
For sure, after many lessons, I am able to understand Japanese language more and to express my thoughts more freely.
Since I was observing a lot and after making many mistakes, I slowly begin to understand Japanese culture. Still long way, though!
I got many new friends. I had to face many (usually unexpected) challenges, that gave me a lot of new experiences and some confidence.
My life changed, that's for sure. I can see how different I am now.
If I may go little deeper... By learning new culture, new language, I have learned something about Poland and Polish. And by meeting new people, I have learnt something about myself.
This year was full of events, but I think I can point out two main achievements and two big failures.
First achievement would be, of course, winning European Shogi Champion title. Actually, I don't feel this strong to say „Look, I am the strongest person in whole Europe!”... Yet, as I look on my trophy, I think, that until now I was doing good job in Japan and it gave this splendid result.
Second achievement would be more basic. I am finally able to enjoy reading shogi books. I mean, I enjoyed solving problems inside, but now I can actually read the text around. Not fully understanding maybe, but at least I can follow the main line of thought quite easily.
Now failures. First one I would call my games in International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka. I basically lost all of them, because of my lack of skill to keep the advantage until the end. Too many times I had fought until winning position and then lose it by, usually silly, „turning the table” moves. That was quite painful.
This lack of „finishing hit” took from me also chance to become Ladies Professional at the beginning of 2015. I lost the deciding match, when I had a winning position. Still makes me sad, when I think about it.
“Life is long”, somebody told me. That is true, one cannot stop in past or it will become a jail. And if we imagine, that it's nothing special – everybody has own ups and downs, it is easier to continue our own journey.
156
Shogi Yearbook 2014 Following a Dream
I can say with all confidence, that, neverthless, it was a good year. I hope the next one will be as good, win only slight little difference, that I will grow even stronger.
Like a lance, Let's keep on going forward, Towards our Dreams.

Shogi Masters play Chess By GM Peter Heine Nielsen
In 2014 Chess Grandmaster Peter Heine Nielsen visited Japan and wrote an interesting article about it. This article was first published on www.chessbase.com . I would like to thank Peter Heine Nielsen and Chesssbase GmbH for the permission to publish the article in the Shogi Yearbook 2014.
Japan's top rated player, Yoshiharu Habu, 43, made a comeback to chess after an almost seven year break. Little known in the rest of the world, Habu is a national icon in Japan. While he played the Open Chess tournament in Cracow over the New Year, Japanese national television aired a 1½ hour long documentary celebrating his career. It's focal point is 1996, when Habu became the first ever to hold all seven titles in the Japanese version of chess, shogi.
Yoshiharu Habu, 19e Lifetime Meijin in Shogi
Eighteen years later, Habu still tops the rankings, holds three titles, and is very active. As late as December 20, 2013, he played a shogi game in Tokyo, and on the 12th of January he faces titleholder Akira Watanabe in game one of the Osho title match. Starting out with 3/3 in Cracow, and a winning position in round four against Malaniuk, Habu seemed on track to repeat the success from the World Open in Philadelphia 2006, where he, rated 2378, achieved a grandmaster norm. Despite losing to the later tournament winner he scored 6.5/9, shared 3rd and achieved an IM-norm. An excellent result, especially after a break of such duration.

Yoshiharu Habu's presence in Cracow did draw attention, especially as a shogi tournament was played parallel to the chess event. Even so, the contrast from being an ordinary participant of an open tournament, as compared to the title matches in Japan is enormous.
Shogi title matches, both in terms of spectators, media coverage as well as prize funds, compare only to absolute top chess tournaments. It is characteristic that such matches are always held in a very traditional Japanese setting. For instance, Game 2 of the last year's Meijin match was played in the town hall at the foot of the picturesque Mount Fuji.
Above is a picture of the Meijin match with Yoshiharu Habu playing Toshiyuki Moriuch. As you can see, both players and the officials are wearing the traditional Japanese clothing, and the game takes place in a traditional setting. But the media-coverage is modern, and naturally the game is televised. As a chess player one can't help noticing the differences with our top matches. The playing hall is completely sealed off for spectators. But thanks to Jacques-Marie Pineau, a French chess an shogi enthusiast who has been living in Tokyo for twenty years, we got an unique opportunity. After talks

with both the sponsors and the Shogi Federation, Viktorija and myself became eyewitnesses of the match from behind the scenes. A very interesting mix between what would seem like an absolute top chess event and a traditional Japanese tea ceremony! The few selected guests who were allowed at the playing area before the game, having removed their shoes, kneeled on carpeted floors...
... except two western visitors, who were given chairs Before the game started we could see the arbiter carefully polishing each of the handmade wooden pieces. After nine (!) hours of play the previous day, the game was adjourned, and the following morning resumed at 10.00 a.m. In ceremonial manner, the arbiter read the moves aloud, and the players replayed them on the board up to the adjourned position. We spent a couple of enjoyable days together with Jacques-Marie Pineau and Mr. Ishii in Fujitsu, the city next to Mount Fuji, and I got my first experience of the Japanese chess environment, saving a very difficult position by a swindle against Mr. Ishii in the game we played on the train from Tokyo! A few days later, together with my wife Viktorija Cmilyte, I visited the Shogi Renmei (the Japanese professional shogi association) and had the chance to discuss chess with Yoshiharu Habu. A very enjoyable and interesting experience!

Shogi Yearbook 2014 Following a Dream
In the red tie in the picture above is the Greek ambassador Nikolaos Tsamados, and to the left Naohiro Sanada, who is a tireless promotor of shogi. Being of noble descent, he was in his youth a classmate of the present Emperor and played numerous shogi games with him. Yoshiharu Habu is showing me a “Tsume”, where one has to constantly check the king until it is finally mated. Note the piece-stand on the left. The key difference between chess and shogi, is that captured shogi-pieces can be “dropped” and thus reenter the game. similar to bughouse chess. While in general the training of shogi players is very reminiscent of the way we work with chess, there are notable differences. It is well illustrated by the two positions from Yoshiharu's chess games:
Habu, Yoshiharu 2382–Cadman, Chuck 2272 1–0 1. e4 c5 26. Bxb7 Kxb7 2. Nf3 e6 27. b4 cxb4 3. d4 cxd4 28. Rb1 Ka7 4. Nxd4 a6 29. Rxb4 Ne3 5. Bd3 Bc5 30. Nd4 Rb8 6. Nb3 Be7 31. Rxb8 Rxb8 7. O-O d6 32.

Against GM Peter Wells, Habu sacrificed a serious amount of material and finished the game with a magnificent final sequence.

Over the New Year 2014 Japan's top rated Shogi player, Yoshiharu Habu, 43, made a comeback to chess – after an almost seven year break. Little known in the rest of the world, Habu is a national icon in Japan. He played the Open Chess tournament in Cracow, starting out with 3/3 the chess FM finished in eighth place, with 6.5/9 and a 2486 rating performance, which gave him an IM norm. The contrast from being an ordinary participant of an open tournament, as compared to the shogi title matches in Japan, is enormous – in terms of spectators, media coverage as well as prize funds. It is characteristic that such matches are always held in a very traditional Japanese setting.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Habu's opponent (right) in the above picture of the Meijin match looks familiar to chess players. Toshiyuki Moriuchi is the current “Meijin” in Shogi, as well as a chess player who participated in the 2012 edition of the London Chess Classic.

Both the chess playing shogi champions, Moriuchi and Habu, were only introduced to western chess after they turned twenty, and have played few tournaments. Their contact to chess started thanks to Jacques-Marie Pineau.
Shogi Master and chess trainer: Toshiyuki Moriuchi and Jacques-Marie Pineau
From 1995 to 2003 the Shogi Renmei employed the Frenchman to do a monthly chess lesson for the two shogi champions! During one of their sessions, he showed them the following game, played just briefly before in Dos Hermanas:

As the Shogi-champions are both very well-known and popular with the Japanese public, it's clear that their efforts, even on the western chess board, are keenly followed. Apart from Habu the top ranked player is Shinya Kojima, and on his blog he made numerous posts from Cracow, following Habu and commented on his games, for instance Habu’s win against GM Bartlomiej Heberla. For those of our readers who do not read Japanese he kindly translated the comments to the game to English:
Heberla, Bartlomiej - Habu, Yoshiharu 0-1
Yoshiharu Habu is one of the strongest chess players in Japan although he is a professional shogi (Japanese chess) player. I am sure that he will become an IM in the near future. 1. c4 e6 2.

Kojima’s energetic blog is very typical for the Japanese chess scene. While very few in numbers (just 100 Elo rated players in a population of 128 million!), one gets the impression of enthusiasm and knowledgeable experts and fans.

Neither Habu nor Moriuchi attended, quite understandably, as their Meijin title match was still ongoing. Both great shogi champions could considerably strengthen the Japanese Olympic chess team, but as they are involved in numerous matches in 2014 – Moriuchi in at least two, Habu in at least four. So it is very unlikely that we will see them at the Tromsø Olympiad next summer. But hopefully we will not have to wait seven more years to see Yoshiharu Habu back at the chessboard. I will leave you with some impressions of Kyoto, which served as Japan's capital and the emperor's residence from 794 until 1868. It is now the country's seventh largest city with a population of 1.4 million people.

Shogi variant – General Shogi
Especially beginners can start their shogi career with a smaller variant. In ‘General Shogi’ the focus is the use of the generals which don’t have an equivalent in western chess.
The boeard has a size of 5x6 fields.
The diagram shows the setup from left to right: Silver General, Golden General, King, Golden General, Silver General. Three pawns are placed on the thrird row.
The move order is exactly like in normal shogi, drops are possible. The promotion zone are the last two ranks.
There are twopossibilities to win the game. Either you checkmate your opponent’s king or you move with your king to the orinignal Field of your opponent*s king (3a or 3f).
You can find an interesting video about ‘General Shogi’ in german language which was produced by Oliver Orschiedt here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbB8NkRTiKM

International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan Chess Grandmaster Peter Heine Nielsen from Denmark was one of the participants of the International Shogi Forum which took place in December in Shizuoka. Here is his photo report about the event. The photos are from him, Fabien Osmont and others. Thank you all!
Mount Fujii is one of the world’s top sights. Its beautiful symmetrical snow-capped top is certainly worth the trip alone, but my trip to Japan, together with fellow Chess-grandmaster Yannick Pelletier had quite a different purpose:
We both had qualified to represent our countries in the 6th International Shogi Festival. An event best compared to the Chess Olympiad, as the 6-7 December the whole international Shogi community gathered in the Japanese city of Shizuoka:
175
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
Shizuoka is located just next to the Pacific Ocean, and thus from a chess-player's perspective at the edge of the world. From a shogi perspective, however, Japan is the center with its approximately 6 million players, while the rest of the world only has a few thousand.
The reason for choosing Shizuoka specifically, is due to the 2 persons on the picture: Ieyasu Tokugawa the first shogun of a dynasty who governed the country for more than 250 years. - The Edo period - Edo is the old name of Tokyo which became then the center of Japan. Tokugawa Ieyasu ended his life in the castle of Shizuoka establishing two school of Go and Shogi held by the first called Meijin a long tradition which had its 400th anniversary during this Forum.
Also it is the home-region of Aono Teruichi, a 9-dan professional, who did a lot during his career to promote shogi abroad, and e.g. wrote ”better moves for better shogi”. A classic, similar to Dvoretsky's works in chess, and specifically made bilingual in Japanese and English.

And so, we traveled almost half around the world, to participate in what was only a 2-day rapid tournament! But while a Chess-Olympiad for a Grandmaster might be an important sporting competition,for most, it's a cultural event, an opportunity for making new friends, and helping to spread the knowledge of the game across the world. And the Shogi Forum definitely served that purpose too.
At the opening ceremony we were greeted by some of the best professional players. It is a surreal experience, for a very average player, together with the rest of the European delegation, to walk into the hall and be applauded by former Meijins! ( the highest shogi title, comparable to the world Champion)

The opening ceremony, was both very formal in appearance- our hosts all wearing impeccable suits and traditional dresses, and pleasantly light and friendly. Having enjoyed excellent sushi, the festival was opened with a toast of locally produced beer!
Koji Tanigawa who made the opening speech, has a career that even Garry Kasparov might envy! Not because he became the Meijin at the age of 21, won it 5 times with a total of 25 titles, but by the fact that he also became Chairman of the Shogi federation! Which has been under his excellent leadership since 2012.

Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
The female professionals, who incidentally have their own professional federation, were also present and were wearing kimonos, as the tradition requires. Madoka Kitao, 5. Dan might be the best known player in the West as she has been a front- runner for ”Shogi in Schools” promoting it in a number of countries, and even invented ”Dobutsu” shogi, a kids friendly version, excellent for getting a gentle introduction to shogi.
Manao Kagawa one of the most famous and popular female players in Japan. Last year at the age of 20, she won the Women Osho-title. In August 2013, she kindly collaborated to a cultural event between University students from Russia and Japan in which each teams have to play both games Chess and Shogi!

After the opening ceremony, despite that the tournament started next morning at 10.am, we went to the practice room, where professional were playing training games. In the photo, 5-Dan Harue Tanikawa plays me and Yannick simultaneously. Yannick got some useful experience in the ”Yagura” opening, which he would play later in the tournament, while I for the first time managed to win a 2- piece handicap game, meaning she would play without her rook and bishop! A very traditional way of playing against amateurs. Chess grandmaster, and 5-Dan Shogi Amateur Larry Kaufmann even wrote an excellent book in English on the opening theory of such handicap games!
And not only is it tradition that Professional will play with amateurs, but also spend like 10 minutes analyzing the game afterwards. Here Akira Nishio, 6- Dan explains to Yannick, while the rest of us tries to follow as well. Akira has an excellent blog in English, giving very well explained guidance to shogi-openings and concepts: http://kingcrimsondiscipline.blogspot.com/

The tournament was done in the format known from the Soccer World Cup. A Group-Stage followed by a K-O format. There where no seeding, and Yannick was not exactly lucky, ending up in a group only consisting of Dan-players. However he fought formidably, and created the sensation of the tournament:

Facing reigning European Champion, Karolina Styczynska, who lives in Japan and tries to become a Shogi-professional, Yannick managed to win! In the position at the Picture Yannick's King is at g7 ( looks like c3 for a chess player!), but then did an amazing tour:
And just when Karolina had finally woven a mating net around his King, he struck with his counter- attack, mating her just in time!
Having won his first 2 games, Yannick advanced to the K-O stage.
182

As for myself, in the first game I played Toshio Awano, aged 71, from Japan. And while age might matter, being from Japan certainly overrules! In an interesting ”double-Anaguma” opening, he sacrificed an exchange, after which his attack proved much too powerful. I won my 2nd game, but in the deciding game 3, I misplayed a promising attack, and thus was eliminated in the group-stage.
Day 1st finished with a charity- auction, to help the victims of the great East Japan earthquake. Shogi professionals donated, and each representative gave something particular from their country.

Here the Osho-title holder Manao Kagawa, who hosted the auction, in the typical fashion, signs, with Chinese characters, a traditional Japanese fan.
Although representing Denmark, I decided in this matter to represent chess, and brought Kasparov's recent book, signed at the training session he had with Magnus Carlsen before the World Championship match.

The best view ever from a tournament hall? This picture is taken through the panorama windows at the Shizuoka Convention center, while waiting for day 2 to start!
Yannick continued his strong play, but also kept getting difficult pairings and was eliminated from the K-O stage by the 3 times European Champion Jean Fortin from France. Another complex game in the Yagura opening, but although Yannick had his chances,it was the experienced Frenchman who progressed.
185
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
Despite being a shogi event, other, for a Japanese exotic (!) forms of chess were also promoted. In the analysis area both Western chess as well as Xiangqi was played. Here Jacques-Marie Pineau, promoting western chess in Japan, and shogi in the West for more than 20 years, does his part, and while in Japan, plays chess. By the way, Jacques-Marie was the man who introduced me to the Shogi world last time I came in Japan. The tradition of the best Japanese board game players, being interested in other than their ”main ” game is known from Nobel-prize winner's Kawabata's masterpiece” The go Master”. So in order to promote western chess in Japan, the current Meijin, Yoshiharu Habu accepted to play an exhibition game, and I had the honour of facing him:
Habu, aged 44 is the current Meijin, the first ever to hold all 7 top titles simultaneously in 1996. He has already won 90 titles during his career. His fame and popularity is only comparable to Carlsen's in Norway, and Anand's in India. It might seem odd to have the arguably best shogi player ever, not playing the event, but he is simply too strong! Earlier he has beaten reigning European Champions at handicap-games, so this time the handicap was to change the game instead! Habu, rated 2415 plays chess rarely, but weeks before our game had a 2-game exhibition match against Kasparov in Tokyo. And while losing 2-0, he had excellent chances in the 2nd game.
186
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
During the game, Jacques-Marie Pineau and Yasumitso Sato would do commentary for the spectators, and here invited Yannick to give his point of view on the position.
And while chess might be widely unknown in Japan,Yoshiharu Habu certainly is the opposite and our game attracted a rather big crowd. Especially considering that most of the spectators, very likely didn't even know (yet!) the rules of the Western chess!
187
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
After the game, which had ended in a draw, we joined the commentators in trying to explain a few key- points to the spectators. As can be seen, Habu, very true to his shogi-style, also in chess attacks vigorously and had me very worried, before I got the advantage in the endgame, which was eventually drawn.
Yasumitsu Sato, Meijin in 1998 and 1999, both time having won the decisive game 7 in his 4-3 match wins against Tanigawa, is in the best of Japanese traditions, also an excellent chess-player and here explains my choice of the Dragon-variation to the spectators.
188
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
The final in the shogi-tournament was between Jean Fortin and Haruto Takahashi. And yes, the boy next to Fortin is certainly not there to help with the demonstration board, but is the tournament winner, having won all of his games!
During the final 9 Dan Aono Teruichi would give witty comments in Japanese,and the president of the European Shogi Federation, Frank Rövekamp would translate it to English. Meijins Habu and Sato would also join the commentary, and Fortin admitted it being rather unusual. Perhaps comparable to 2400 players having, Anand, Carlsen and Kasparov commenting their game!
189
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
Takahashi seemed more at ease, attacked vigorously and convincingly won the 6th International Shogi Forum, at the age of 12! Nothing unusual or unexpected in that at all. It simply makes no sense comparing the level in Japan to the rest of the world. It's a very competitive professional board game in Japan, and largely unknown elsewhere in the world. Actually it could have been a preeteen- Japanese final:
As in the semifinal Fortin faced Hana Wada, also aged 12!

While in chess we have Titles like FM, IM and GM, in shogi they use the traditional Dan-system, even known from Karate! Here Vladimir Frolochkin receives his 1st Dan diploma certified by the Japanese Shogi Association.
On the day after the tournament, we were invited to a touristic trip to the land of Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa. First we visited Kunōzan Tōshō-gū, a Shinto shrine and the burial place of Tokugawa. The white barrels are typical “sake-barrels”, always found at Shinto shrines.
191
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
Quite extraordinarily a religious ceremony for us was arranged!
by a Shinto-Priest who blessed us all with good health, and good luck in shogi! It was definitely a beautiful sight and a unique experience.
192
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
Having received our blessings we walked from the Shrine, and could enjoy the following view:
The pacific Ocean is a majestic sight, that no picture can do justice to. The small rectangular objects near the beach, are green-houses, where most of Japan's strawberries grow!
193
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
Having walked to the beach, for me,and many others, it was a first at the Pacific. Some took it to extremes, even insisting to get their feet wet. European Champion Karolina Styczynska and Chile's Christopher Gallardo, who traveled the maximum 12 time-zones to play the event! (Chile actually borders the Pacific from the other side, giving one an idea of it's incredible magnitude)
Just to give you an idea of how spoiled we were. This is the view, from the beach, facing the other way from the Pacific!
194
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
”Gens Una Sumus” it is the Chess world's motto, but it very much felt like the Shogi world in Shizuoka. 46 players, from 38 countries participated in the 6th International Shogi Forum. A fantastic experience, just like the pioneering days of chess must have been.
Back in Europe one could easily be the only player in their country, but in Shizuoka it indeed felt like one small family of shogi enthusiasts. Nothing says it better than this:
During the analyses of a friendly game between Yannick Pelletier and Adrien Levacic quite some of us gathered to kibitz. And some point a quiet, polite suggestion was made, but obviously incredibly strong. It took some amusing seconds until we realized the Meijin has joined the post mortem!
195
Shogi Yearbook 2014 International Shogi Forum in Shizuoka / Japan
It became quite a lively discussion, and might have postponed the closing for a while, but then at least the waiting for the 7th ISF in 2017 became slightly shorter. The hope is 50 countries then! And what do you do when such an event end? You of course try to make it last just a little bit longer:
Sushi, sake and shogi. A worthy end, to a great time in Japan. Fabien Osmont, the man behind the hundreds of kids playing shogi in France, as well as the photographer of many pictures in this report, joined “ team chess” against reknowned shogi-players Frederic Verheyden and Andreas Kapnser. Frederic is a Belgian diplomat, who shifted from chess to shogi while being stationed in Tokyo and Andreas managed to qualify for the German spot in the ISF, definitely one of the most competitive. And while we do have to wait until 2017 for the next ISF, the European Championship will be 20-26 of August in Prague. We all expect to be there, even our Japanese, Ivorian and Chilean shogi-friends!

Shogi Yearbook 2014 Interview with Chess Grandmaster Peter Heine Nielsen
Interview with Chess Grandmaster Peter Heine Nielsen
You already know Chess Grandmaster Peter Heine Nielsen because he wrote the interesting reports about his visit to Japan and the International Shogi Forum. Peter is not only a chess grandmaster but also a chess commentator, chess second and a shogi player as well. Here is the interview with a player who has insights in two fascinating games.
How did you discover shogi? When did you learn it and what did fascinate you?
Peter Heine Nielsen Exactly 2 years ago. Planning our honeymoon to Japan with my wife, also a professional chess player, I contacted Jacques-Marie Pineau offering to do a chess-lecture in Tokyo. He replied if I was willing to learn shogi, and New Year’s Eve 2012 I was looking at Hidetchi's introducing videos. On our trip we went to Fujitsu to see a game of the Meijin match, as well as in Tokyo we went to the shogi-Renmei with a joined shogi and chess lecture with Mr. Habu.
It felt like having discovered a parallel universe or an unknown civilization. The rich history and its traditions. That millions play the game, hundreds of professionals, the body of opening theory, rich literature etc. When I entered the Shogi-Renmei it reminded me of my first visit to the central chess club in Moscow during soviet time. It was the heart of chess, a huge building complex, I met Botvinnik, top coaches, top soviet talents were taking classes and a huge administrative body. Such might not exist anymore in the chess-world, but very much seems to be the case in Tokyo! In Fujitsu however I was struck by the difference from chess. At first it feels strange that chess defines itself as sport, while shogi feels connected to culture. It’s hard to explain in words, but having seen the traditions and the ceremonial way a Meijin game is conducted, I can understand why.
What are your aims as a shogi player?
Peter Heine Nielsen My perspective is the one of a fan. I love the game, playing it, following pro-games and reading literature. I hope to keep climbing the ladder of understanding the game. It amazes me when professionals sacrifice a number of pawns, just to create what to me seems like some moderate weaknesses in the opponent’s camp, and the endgame phase where speed seems to matter much more than material, is also hard to understand as a chess player. So my aims are very much in understanding the game better, and keeping enjoying it as much as now!
Shogi belongs to Japan society and receives a huge interest in the media as you describe in your interesting report 'Shogi Masters play Chess'. The western chess is nearly invisible in newspapers and television in Europe and takes place 'in the underground'. What can we learn from Japan to make the people being interested in chess?
Peter Heine Nielsen I think shogi is a unique opportunity for chess, to compare how it has tackled various problems. Chess for instance is suffering from massive problems due to the possibility of cheating, as well as inventing “artificial” rules to avoid the huge number of draws. Part of it might be explained by culture, but more important small details in the game, makes a huge difference. While in Chess the computer is such a powerful factor, in shogi, due to its bigger complexity and more fluctuating value of a specific piece, the computers plays a less important role. And while chess by nature has a huge “drawing zone“, in shogi it’s much, much narrower. Actually chess has been simply ”unlucky”, that rules decided
197
Shogi Yearbook 2014 Interview with Chess Grandmaster Peter Heine Nielsen
hundreds of years ago, means that nowadays we have problems with draws, and even cheating that simply do not exist in shogi based on the nature of the game. The structure of professional shogi I like a lot. It’s more democratic in a number of ways. There is a certain number of tournaments, and as a professional you have the right to play all of them, based on your results. In chess a lot is based on invitations, organizer wild cards etc. Politically Shogi-Renmei seems much healthier with decisions being taken by its members, while in chess we have the “one country- one vote-decisions” leading to e.g. huge problems with corruption. Of course it’s unimaginable that Denmark should have the same say as Japan in the world of shogi. But in chess such is the reality. From a publicity point of view right now however we can’t complain. Due to Magnus Carlsen chess is having a boom very much in Scandinavia, but even in the whole western world. However it’s driven by his personality and fame, and less by chess itself. Which means it could be like Fischer in 1972, who created a boom that faded away when he exited. In Japan the passion and popularity of shogi seems much more deeply rooted, and part of tradition and culture. It is very hard to copy such, much easier to envy!
Can playing shogi improve the strength of a chess player? Which skills in particular?
Peter Heine Nielsen I doubt it can in a direct sense. Of course one will widen ones perspective of tactical motives, as they are considerably more complex in shogi, but it’s not directly applicable to chess. I think by playing shogi, one gets a better perspective on chess. For instance I always thought it’s so logical that the centre is important, which it is in chess. But in shogi it varies a lot where the main battlefield is, and in go the corners are often much more relevant. But for a practical chess-player, I don’t think playing shogi will improve your results. However I think as a trainer one learns a lot when trying to understand a new game. One realizes how difficult it is to understand basic positional or tactical themes as a beginner. Move-orders in the openings I know by heart in chess, but in shogi it’s very puzzling to me. I was told that like with language it’s similar with games. You have to learn them as a child, to understand them well. Which makes it even more impressive that Mr. Habu and Mr. Moriuchi have managed a considerable level in chess, despite only starting after the age of 20. I don’t know any other examples like that actually.
What can we do to promote shogi outside Japan?
Peter Heine Nielsen It’s very much an uphill struggle. I really like what the ISPS is doing. The ISF in Shizuoka was a fantastic experience, and it’s impossible not to feel very much welcome in the shogi-environment. It’s the friendliest experience I had in festivals like this, despite of 30 years in the chess world. I like what Mrs. Kitao is doing with Dobutsu shogi, and I always read the blog in English of Mr. Nishio, facebook posts of Mr. Terao etc. Still most of these things reaches out to people already familiar with shogi, and helps keeping them being involved. It is my feeling that most from the European shogi environment started from being connected to Japan in some way, while e.g. chess players like me and Yannick Pelletier are rarer, and got to know about the game basically by chance. There should be potential in the huge population of chess-players to get them interested in shogi, but the resistance is actually huge. When I tell chess players about shogi, it is viewed as at best exotic, and not at all seen as a serious game. There is simply a huge gap of knowledge; it is hard to believe there is an easy fix, but long term raising awareness. Also, to put it directly: Japan is much too strong! In chess we are having a boom right now due to Magnus Carlsen, against all odds, has managed to beat “the Russian chess empire”. But imagining a foreigner being competitive at a professional shogi level is just unthinkable. It's a long journey ahead, but the ISF gets more countries every time, there is reason for optimism long term. It would be interesting with maybe an exhibition game, as well as an information booth at the chess-Olympiad to come with an untried small suggestion.
198
Shogi Yearbook 2014 Interview with Chess Grandmaster Peter Heine Nielsen
You have been the second of former chess world champion Vishy Anand and are second of the reigning world champion Magnus Carlsen. Are they interested in shogi? And will we see them in a shogi tournament in the future?
Peter Heine Nielsen I doubt we will see them in a tournament recently... I can’t say they are interested in shogi, which however hasn’t stopped me from telling them a lot about it! And I’m sure they could become quite decent players very quickly. But it’s very understandable that as a top-professional is reluctant to divert his attention. At times I become unsure if a pawn is protecting a piece, as in chess they capture differently than in shogi. Imagine such in a world-championship match! So maybe being interested in other games, even being a master of one, is a Japanese thing. At least it struck me when reading Kawabata’s The Master of go. Mr. Habu seems capable, Mr. Moriuchi as well, but very few chess players have gone in that direction.
Let's suppose that a shogi god would fulfill three wishes. What are your personal three wishes concerning shogi?
Peter Heine Nielsen My first wish will be a selfish one. Shogi has such a rich history, literature etc. However, as a non- Japanese speaker one feels that only the top of the iceberg is available. If, by magic, all could be translated to English, it would be wonderful! Of course such is not even remotely close to financially sensible, so I would like to say thanks a lot for all those for doing the pioneering work and making information about shogi available in English. It is very much appreciated.
For the game of shogi itself, I hope that computers will not have the negative influence, that we see in Western chess. Metal detector checks at tournaments, accusations of computer assistance during games as well as opening theory mainly created by computers, instead of human creativity is now the reality in chess, but hopefully never will be in shogi. And the complexity of shogi might be large enough that we get only the positive aspects of computers, but not the negative ones. Finally, I hope shogi will not only stay popular in Japan, but keep spreading throughout the rest of the world. In many ways shogi is a more fun and interesting game than chess to play, both for amateurs and professionals, and it's lack of popularity in the west is simply due to very limited awareness as well as too few possibilities to play. I wish for many more to know about shogi, because when you do, it's so intereresting, you want to know more!
Thank you very much, Peter, for the interview and all the best to you in the fields of chess and shogi.
