1 Pay attention to your move what you are about to play. At the beginner level, most Shogi games are decided by simply giving away pieces, therefore making sure that you don’t put pieces on squares where they can be captured is quite Important. Especially, be careful with the Rook, the Bishop, the Knight, and the Lance. Avoiding blunders is one of the first steps to win.
2 Think about what is your opponent’s threats. Most people tend to assume what your opponent thinks and then allow something simple that gains an advantage. Trying not to lose is a helpful mindset as trying to win.
3 Try to calculate and Don’t play quickly. I know that It’s hard to calculate, especially when you see good moves or when positions are complicated. It’s no problem that even if your calculation is incorrect. It’s a part of the process of improvement.
4 Castle your king before attacking. If your king is exposed or your king is near the battlefield, you may lose at ease.
5 Develop your pieces. Don’t move the same piece in a row if you don’t have a good reason. Try not to make your pieces out of play.
