Detailed Explanation of Functions:

Challenge yourself against authentic AI, and enjoy face-to-face play with a friend. The 40 levels of computer AI cater to players from beginner to advanced stages. Beginners will appreciate the visual aids showing possible moves, while hints from AI can guide you to better plays. You can even observe games between computers or switch your AI opponent during a match. Keep track of your progress with recorded match results, and enhance your skills with piece dropping, time settings, and rating games.

Improve swiftly by analyzing your games post-match. Use the review function to see AI's suggested moves, your actual moves, and the evaluation of each scenario. The game record analysis function automatically identifies bad moves and displays situation evaluations on a graph for easy understanding. Save these analyses for future reference, and visit the official website for detailed instructions on reading game record analysis results.

Keep your game records organized. Save records from matches against AI and import records from other shogi apps or published games. The app supports KIF/KI2/CSA file formats, allows clipboard copying and pasting, and integrates with cloud storage services like Google Drive and Dropbox. Create custom starting positions and Tsume Shogi scenarios.
