◆Instructor introduction
・Mr. Mizutama
He calls himself a “chess book consultant.” He loves shogi and Tsume Shogi.
At the Nekomado Shogi Classroom, the shogi room master and the “Tsume Shogi Answer Championship Last Minute Mock Test”,
Online course “A fun introduction to learning techniques for advanced level players” serves as a lecturer.
◆Lecturer comments:
“During the coronavirus pandemic, I think there are many people who have no place to seriously play shogi.
This time, we have created an opportunity for shogi players who are aiming for Shogi to play shogi by thinking carefully about the three games.
Especially recommended for those who get rough hands when playing shogi online.
Additionally, it would be a waste to just point at shogi and call it a day, so in addition to looking back at the impressions, after the lesson I am thinking of sharing the game record with the instructor’s comments with the students.
We welcome those who participated last month as well as those who are joining us for the first time this month.”
