Onderwerp: Shogi opening help needed!

Can anybody here give me some opening tips? I am new at shogi and would appreciate any help. I also need help understanding shogi ratings...are they different than western chess?

mahavrilla: Please try the links in the page of my blog at http://shogi.typepad.jp/eweblog/2005/11/basic_shogi_inf_1.html

I think shogi FESA and USSF organizations use the rating system which is equivalent to western chess. Please refer to http://www.shogi.net/fesa/rating.intro

A professional players' association exists in Japan. They don't use rating system. They use Dan grading system.

My advise is a bit too practical.

1 First move? (When you are Black)
There are a number of move choices but three moves are oustandingly popular.

A P-7f: Making a way for the Bishop diagonal.
B P-2f: For quicker use of Rook and aiming for a pawn exchange.
C P-5f: Suggesting the use of Rook at fifth file aiming directly for the king.

..To be continued.
