Description and Table of Contents
Description
Shogi -- Japanese chess -- is the supreme game of strategy, and this book is the key to its mastery at the most profound levels. Written in 1899 by the enigmatic Professor Cho-Yo -- artist, philosopher, and master player -- it is the book that introduced shogi to the west and remains the best exposition of the philosophy of the mastery of shogi, which he describes as the most highly developed, most interesting, and most scientific and philosophical of all the games ever invented, illustrating the secret and intricate combinations of cause and effect on human nature. The work covers the history, rules, and philosophy of shogi, drawing analogies with famous military battles, and includes some classic shogi problems.
