About

Introducing the ideal shogi game--providing a combination of strength, aptitude, and speed so that you won't have to wait. The YSS7.0 engine by Hiroshi Yamashita, undefeated champion of the 7th World Computer Shogi Tournament, has been optimized for use on the PlayStation. There are 4 levels of difficulty available, from "1. Expert" to "4. Novice." There is also a handy support feature for beginners, and a "Board Edit" function allowing you to edit the layout to your liking, so you can enjoy strategizing in a variety of mock situations.
