Tanigawa Kouji no Shougi Shinan II: Meijin e no Michi is a classic shogi simulator originally released for the Famicom Disk System in 1988. This specific Disk Writer edition acts as an expansion, focusing intensely on practical shogi puzzles rather than full matches. Endorsed by legendary professional player Kouji Tanigawa, the game challenges players with “tsumeshougi” (mating problems) and “tsugi no itte” (find the next best move) scenarios designed to sharpen your tactical vision and endgame skills.
How to Play
Your goal is to solve the presented shogi puzzles by finding the correct sequence of moves to achieve checkmate or gain a decisive advantage. The controls follow the standard NES layout mapping for the browser: use the Arrow Keys to navigate the board and menu options. Press Z (mapped to the A button) to select a piece or confirm your move, and press X (mapped to the B button) to cancel a selection. Press Enter to pause or access in-game options.
Tips
- Count your moves: Tsumeshogi problems typically require a specific number of moves to solve. Keep this limit in mind to rule out lines that take too long.
- Look for forcing moves: In mating problems, every move you make should ideally put the opponent’s king in check, leaving them with limited responses.
