A video of playing Shotest Shogi on YouTube

Congratulation on your victory against Milly, AoiFurisode. HeShe uploaded a video of playing Shotest Shogi on YouTube.

Alas another practice match to test my skills. This time I did my best not to do matta and try to do my best to do some good Shogi. Milly opening with 8d Pawn basically allows me to do Yagura but I initially ignored that and pushed my right silver to gain some ground, then I built Yagura. One thing I did that I need to do often is to always send my pieces with some support so if White decided to take a piece, I can always counterattack.
