About the Author

Takashi KANEKO was born in Tokyo in December 1961. He won on the Yomiuri Japan No. 1 Amateur Championship in 1981 while a student at the University of Tokyo and was subsequently active as an amateur player, winning the Amateur Ryuou championship in 1989 and finishing second place in the Asahi Amateur Meijin championship in 1990. Establishing a reputation for the outstanding organizational ability he developed as a scientific researcher, his first book "Ending Attack Techniques 168" has long been essential reading for shogi fans.

This book is excellent

2014/09/01　Poster：Wang Qi Wen　Recommend rate：★★★★★

Various types of mino castles are frequently used in furibisha (ranging rock) strategies.

Learn how to storm various types of mino castles is very important to deal with furibisha players. The translation is excellent and the book is well organized.

I typically like the arrow head representation, which is used to indicate the storm direction.

Please translate and publish more shogi books into English. I will definitely support! :-)

It explains how to storm various types of mino castles and show you how to attack it from four directions: from the side, from the edge, diagonal attack and from the front. This book is great and it will definitely improve your shogi skill.
