Detailed Function Explanation

Challenge authentic AI across 40 levels, suitable for beginners to advanced players. The app displays where pieces can move, making it beginner-friendly. Use the "Hint" button to see AI's suggested moves and understand their reasoning. You can also watch games between computers or play against another person in a knee-to-knee setup (no communication games). Change the computer's level during the game by quitting and entering examination mode, then selecting "Resume game from this stage" in the menu. Your match results against AI are recorded, and you can play rating games with piece dropping and time settings.

Improve quickly by reviewing your games. The examination function shows AI's reading line, your actual moves, and situation evaluations, providing hints for better play. The game record analysis function automatically searches for bad moves, displaying situation evaluations on a graph for easy understanding. Save the analysis results in game record files and refer to the official website for detailed reading instructions.

Keep your played game records, including those from other shogi apps and published records. Save games against AI in files, read KIF/KI2/CSA format game record files, and manage records by copying and pasting to the clipboard. Access game record files from various clouds like Google Drive and Dropbox, and create start phases and Tsume Shogi phases.
