Famicom Shogi: Ryū-Ō-Sen — About this game
"Famicom Shogi Ryuo-sen" is a shogi software that allows you to participate in shogi matches and play Tsume Shogi in addition to regular games. In the Ryuo tournament, we will set up a combination of seven professionals who have passed the qualifying rounds and one amateur to participate, and the players will advance as amateur representatives, aiming to challenge the Ryuo and win the title. Tsume Shogi contains 10 questions each for 3 moves, 5 moves, and 7 moves, for a total of 30 questions. In the shogi laboratory, you can set game conditions including between humans and computers, and there is also a function to ask questions of Tsume Shogi yourself. The game record, the number of moves, and the thinking time of both players are displayed on the board, allowing you to take your time while checking the flow of the game.
