Unfortunately, there's a distinct lack of tools to help you improve your game - it would've been huge if there was a coaching system, practice-mode threat diagramming, or a library of tsume shogi and hisshi puzzles to improve gamers board-analysis skills. With only 16 progressively harder A.I. opponents, Shotest Shogi is a sound introduction to an intellectually challenging game, but it'll leave you wishing for more. 6.5/10
