The Way of Tori Shogi - Dave Brandl and Bill Crokes

[captbirdseye]

Strictly, this is off-topic, but I guess there are folks here who are interested in Shogi variants...

This short book about Tori Shogi has finally been published as a small hardback book as opposed to the previously available paid-for download.

Details here:

https://torishogi.com/

I received my copy yesterday, and I must say, it's a really nicely produced little book. Highly recommended...

I have a copy and I love it.

Does that book really contain any information specific to Tori Shogi that would help you to become a better player? (E.g. what are good opening lines, which castles can be built?) I haven't seen the full book, just a few pages as preview on Google, and I got the impression that it was mostly general bed-time stories about philosophy, culture and strategy, not really related to the game. Does it even mention where you can play Tori Shogi on-line, and what software would be available to play it on a PC?

Yes. It covers castles, openings, and other strategic matters, but it is an introductory book, so the discussions are necessarily brief (it's only 100 pages long after all...).
