I was very thrilled to find such a great shogi app for the iPhone. Computer was a little tough at first, but I have learned from all the games. I have tried 2 other shogi apps (including morita) and this one is the best by far. If your a fan of chess give shogi a try, you won't be disappointed!

If you have never heard of shogi and you like western chess you should give this a try. Shogi is extremely popular in Japan. It adds an extra level of complexity and fun by allowing you to use pieces that you capture. On your turn, instead of moving a piece you can place a captured opponents piece almost anywhere ( with some restrictions) on the board. If you think about this, it opens up a lot of strategic and tactical options. You wont be disappointed.

If you fixed it to where it shows the title number/letter (ex. 8c) that would be great. Also smoothing out graphic details along with the double-tap zoom which is unecessary and quite annoying. Also something to tell you you are in check or checkmate would also be great. Asides from all that though this is a great game and can only hope future updates further improve the gameplay.

Well polished game with good indicators of where you can move and has good tutorials. It seems though as if the computer levels are reversed as I can last much longer versus level 7 than against level 1. Might be a bug or something
