Play Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shougi (Japan) Online
You slide shogi pieces across a crisp grid, watching them flip into stronger versions mid-move—the AI crushes you, but that satisfying *click* when you drop a promoted piece keeps you trying.
Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shougi is one of those SNES games that slipped under the radar, which is a shame because it’s probably the best way to learn shogi without drowning in confusion. The menus are in Japanese, but the clean grid and simple piece movements make it surprisingly intuitive—I figured out the basics within a few matches, and that’s saying something for someone who usually panics at chess variants.
The game moves fast, with snappy animations when you drop a promoted piece back on the board (that little *click* sound never gets old). There’s something oddly satisfying about watching your silver general flip into a gold mid-battle, even if the AI starts wrecking you shortly after. The music’s all traditional strings and hushed intensity, perfect for a slow evening of getting outmaneuvered by a 16-bit opponent.
If you’ve ever been curious about shogi but bounced off denser versions, this is the one that might finally hook you. Just don’t blame me when you lose three hours to rematches.
