Shōgi Meikan '93 — About this game
``Shogi Directory '93'' is not a normal shogi game where you play freely against computer players, but is software for watching and researching that includes title matches, game records, and player information from the time. When you select a game, the pieces are placed on the board, and you can check the position and explanation as you move forward and backward one move at a time. The main way to use it is to stop automatic playback when you are concerned about a situation, think about candidate moves and piece combinations, and then display the next move. You can switch between the game list and player directory as yearly materials and learn the flow of actual battles.
