Shogi in Kenya soon

Good news for Shôgi!! a kenya young man has discovered that game and already played a game. He has been fascinated by this game and is challenged to lead shogi spreading in his country. Will Kenya become the second shogi nation in africa after Ivory Coast? We all hope that. He will probably be at 81dojo the 8th of may for the Kyosha online tournament. Welcome Kenya. As follow a message he wrote recently on facebook:

Shogi is an exciting and fascinating game. I invite you to become a member of Shogi Africa. Contact me if interested and train for free as we look foward to make history as the second country in Africa(after Ivory Coast) to form a Shogi federation. Sh...ogi is the Japanese cousin of Chess. It is very similar to Chess in some respects, differing from it mainly by allowing players to keep captured pieces and replay them as their own. While still very much like Chess in the object, the general rules, and some of the pieces used, this one difference makes the experience of playing Shogi quite different from the experience of playing Chess. It allows players who are behind to more easily get ahead, and it can keep the outcome of the game more uncertain until the very end. Compare this to Chess, where the difference of a single Pawn can decide the outcome of the game between equally skilled players. This difference from Chess helps keep the game interesting and exciting until the end. Shô means general and Gi means board game. Shogi (rhymes with yogi) means general's game.Afficher la suite
