In this lesson, you will learn about the especially important shogi concepts of “piece movement and promotion.” Rather than memorizing only the words, aim to explain the mechanism and reasons in your own words.
Key Point
Some pieces can be promoted when their movement involves the opponent’s camp’s third rank, and after promotion, many pieces move similarly to a gold general.

Point
- Confirm not only the conclusion but also the reason for it
- Distinguish it from similar terms and exceptions
- Try applying the same way of thinking to other examples
Practice
- Explain the key point in two sentences.
- Give one common misunderstanding and explain what is different about it.
- Check it by applying it to a familiar or specific example.
