Every puzzle can now tell you why. NEW: WHY THIS MOVE? Tap "Why this move?" on any puzzle and Shogiful explains what the answer really does: the escape square it takes away, the piece that seals the mate, the sacrifice that opens up the king. Read it before you move as a hint, or after to make the idea stick. YOUR MATE COUNTS Found a different checkmate than the book line? If it truly mates, Shogiful accepts it and shows you the recorded solution alongside. 500+ TSUME, NOW UP TO 9 MOVES The Tsume Trail now climbs from mate-in-1 all the way to 9-move sequences, with more than 500 problems. Plus 150 new drills across tactics, drops, tesuji and yose, and practice puzzles added to 29 lessons. A QUICKER, STEADIER OPPONENT Your opponent and the Coach now answer first instead of waiting behind a background game analysis. Switching apps no longer cuts the engine's thinking short, and game review now shows the final position. Solve one, read why, and feel the pattern stick. Your personal shogi trainer just learned to explain itself. Enjoying Shogiful? A quick rating helps more players find the board.

About
Most shogi apps let you play. Shogiful makes you stronger. It is a personal shogi coach that lives on your iPhone and iPad. Play a game and a real shogi engine reviews every move with you. It shows where the game turned, explains why in plain language, and builds tomorrow's training around the mistakes you actually make. OPPONENTS WITH A PERSONALITY 40 AI opponents, from patient first-game partners to masters. One lives for the attack, another builds a fortress and waits, a third wins everything with drops. Beat one and the next is waiting. Stuck mid-game? The in-game Coach can show you the best move and what each move is worth. FIND OUT WHY YOU LOST After every game, Shogiful walks you through it. Each move is graded from best to blunder, and each mistake comes with the better move and the idea behind it, written like a shogi teacher, not an engine printout. Over time it spots the mistakes you keep repeating, and your training starts targeting exactly those. EVERY ANSWER COMES WITH A REASON Tap "Why this move?" on any puzzle and Shogiful tells you what the move really does: the escape square it takes away, the piece that seals the mate, the sacrifice that tears the castle open. Found a different mate than the book? If it truly mates, it counts. A WHOLE DOJO IN YOUR POCKET Your Daily Plan turns your own games into a few focused minutes a day, and spaced repetition brings each lesson back right before you would forget it. When you want more: • Tsume Trail: more than 500 checkmate problems, from 1 move to 9 • Drop Drills, Tesuji Cards and three-move tactics • Yose Trainer, for the endgame race where games are won • Joseki Lab and Castle Atelier: eleven openings, twelve castles • Komaochi: handicap games, the way shogi has always been taught WATCH YOURSELF GET STRONGER A skill profile across openings, tactics, defense, positional play and the endgame. A kyu and dan estimate you can calibrate. Progress charts that show real improvement, and 62 Game Center achievements to chase along the way. NEW TO SHOGI? START HERE.
