The blind pianist
Tsujii Nobuyuki is a blind pianist from Japan. He is blind from birth but his illness did not stop him from reaching his dream. His mother first discovered his special talent when he was 2 years old. Nobu heard his mom singing a song and a few minutes later, he was already playing the song on his toy piano.
Nobu started taking piano lessons when he was 4 years old. He learns by his ear and reads music by touch. At the age of 20, he joined a famous international piano competition in Texas, so he and his mother flew all the way there. They were warmly welcomed by the Davidsons, their host family. The Davidsons did their best to make Nobu and his mother feel at home. A few weeks before the competition, Nobu has been practicing so hard. His neighbors loved his music so they requested to keep their doors and windows open so they could hear Nobu practicing.
Nobu wants people to listen to him as just like any other pianists who happens to be blind.

History of chess and shogi
Chess is one of the most popular board games in the world. It was invented in the North of India around the 6th century. It traveled to Persia and then spread to the rest of the Asian countries. However, some people believe that chess was invented in China. They believed that a Chinese soldier named Hán Xin invented chess at around 200 B.C. to represent a battle. The game was forgotten after a few years but became popular again during the 7th century A.D. with a new set of rules.
Meanwhile, there is a traditional board game in Japan that is very similar to western chess which is called Shogi. It is believed that it came from India and was brought to Japan by Chinese people. Although the two games are very similar, they have a lot of differences when it comes to the rules.
The goal of these two games is to trap the opposite king. In western chess, the pieces are categorized by black and white to know which pieces are the enemies. Also, their chessboard has 64 squares. While on the other hand, a shogi chessboard has 81 squares. Their pieces are flat which are pointing to the enemy’s end.
