Hello World from Shogi.lu!
Sunday, 4 October 2020
Moien alleguer! Today marks the beginning of the Shogi Luxembourg project, with its main focus of creating a strong community here in Luxembourg! To the casual and hardcore player, we hope that providing a central hub for all Luxembourg Shogi players will to introduce a more professional organisation around the game and aid in communicating about events (online and offline) that may be of interest. The community is now in its early stages, but we hope to see this project evolve in the coming months. If you are interested in interacting more, please check out the community tab and share with anyone who would also be interested!

Experience a Traditional Japanese Art Form
Shogi is much more than just a game for entertainment. It is considered by many to be part of the traditional Japanese art culture along the likes of Haiku, noh and tea ceremonies. If you study and understand enough, you will be able to express yourself and win in your own unique style of play.
Immerse Yourself in Great Complexity
Despite having fast to learn rules, Shogi is far from an easy game. With an astounding number of 10224 possible states in Shogi, mastery of the game comes with much study and experience. However, even for casual players the complexity becomes enjoyable, as you will never have the same game twice.
