I had the idea to create a shogi blog about 8 months ago but due to my infinite laziness, I never took the time to do it. But for some strange reason, I finally did it and here it is: a nice empty blog. I've also created my go blog so now I just need some content.

And for those who might not know that already, Furigoma is the traditional way to determine who gets to play the first move in an even game. It's done by throwing five pawns and if most of these fall on the unpromoted side, the person who did the throw goes first.

It's been quite a while since I last played a game of shogi but I'm still interested in that game and I've been doing a few tsumeshogi problems occasionally.

So I guess that's all for now, hopefully more interesting posts will follow this one soon...
