PART B_2

Into Unknown Territory

“King of Board” Habu Yoshiharu believes in intuition. In his shogi game experiences, about 70 percent of his moves based on intuition turned out correct. For Habu, a player needs his or her intuition to be able to focus attention on a few good moves. It is important to anticipate the opponent’s moves, but it takes a lot of practice and experience to gain intuition. When playing shogi, it is important to learn various strategies and use them to win a game. According to Habu, one must change his or her knowledge to wisdom to fully understand the meaning of the strategies.

Sometimes, players surprise their opponents using unexpected moves. But Habu says that they are not necessarily effective in winning the game because there is a 50 percent chance that they may fail. Habu considers his patience as his talent. In playing shogi, being able to anticipate moves is important, but improving one’s skills is the greatest talent a player can have. Although there are about thousands of games played in the history of shogi, we only know a small portion about the game. Every time Habu plays shogi, he feels like he is starting “a journey into an unknown territory.” And that is what he finds fascinating in shogi.
