PS2 Saikyo Todai Shogi 2003

Flip

   Learn the ways of Shogi and play the age-old board game against a skilled computer competitor. The game algorithm was built and refined by graduate students (Tanase Yasushi, Gotoh Norifumi, Kishimoto Akihiro and Nagai Ayumu) from Tokyo University. Their original program was called ISshogi with the IS standing for the Information Science Department at Todai. The students entered ISshogi in the Computer Shogi Championship where it has won a number of times again a gallery of competing programs as well as commercial programs. ISshogi was the first non-commercial program to win the CSC.

   After winning the CSC, Mycom approached the graduate students and a deal was struck to use the ISshogi algorithm in a commercial program which Mycom has released on the PC and Playstation consoles.

   The 2003 upgrade features faster decision making and presents a formidable challenge against seasoned Shogi veterans. A few professional Shogi players are also represented in the game and gamers may take them on and battle their unique style of play. A teaching mode also offers a primer on the Shogi game and guides beginners on the ways of playing and setting up defense and attacks.
