Shogi365: Tsume Shogi Puzzles

Shogi365 is a daily tsume shogi (Japanese chess checkmate puzzle) app with 4,000 problems: 1,000 each at mate-in-3, 5, 7 and 9.

Sharpen your shogi endgame in a few minutes a day.

■ Play it out, don't peek

- Any check can be played, right or wrong

- The defending king answers automatically, so you test your reading like a real game

- A line that runs out of moves without mate fails; restart it (up to 3 retries)

- Non-check moves are refused, so the rules of tsume shogi come naturally

■ Four difficulties

- Easy: mate in 3

- Medium: mate in 5

- Hard: mate in 7

- Expert: mate in 9

Every problem is verified: a unique first move, no alternative solutions, and no idle attacking pieces.
