Notation method of game record

Basic matter

1 2 3 4 5 6
5 2 Silver right Up Formation

1 ... Streak 2 at the arrival point 2 ... stage 3 at the arrival point ... type of piece
4 · · · relative position of the piece (plural) 5 · · · movement of the piece (plural cases) 6 · · · composition / inferior · strike

Relative position of the piece Right = When moving the right piece as seen from the pointing side Left = moving the left piece as seen from the pointed side

On movement of piece = 1 or more steps, upward moving point = 1 square or more, moving sideways Pull = 1 step or more, moving downwards

Entry example

In newspapers, books, magazines, etc., the lines are written in arithmetic numerals and the columns are written in Chinese numerals, but when recording the game records of the Japan Shogi Association, all numbers are written in arithmetic numerals. Therefore, on this page as well, I will explain everything in arithmetic numbers.

If only one piece of the same type can be moved to the destination, the relative positions and movements of the 4, 5, and 6 pieces will not be entered.
Example ... 76 steps wrong ... 76 steps straight failure

If you move to the same point as the move just before your opponent (= if you take that piece), enter "same".
Example: Same step Wrong ... 76 Same step * ... In newspapers and books, the notation "76 Same step" may be used due to page breaks.

If the piece on the board can move to the arrival point or if you can hit the piece you have. If the piece on the board moves, it is the same as the normal notation. Fill in only if you can move the piece on the board to that point. In other cases, even if you hit the piece you have, you will not be able to hit it.

If it is possible to "consist" by moving to the destination, add either "successful" or "unsuccessful" to distinguish whether it is made or not. Even if it is a foul if it is not done, such as when moving 12 steps to 11, "Naru" is added.

If more than one same piece can move to the point of arrival, write "top" or "par" or "subtraction".

When 63 golds move to 52, "52 gold left"
If 53 golds move to 52, "52 Money"
If 43 golds move to 52, "52 gold right"

※ Because there is only one piece moved from the right, omit "upper".
If 89 gold moves to 88, "88 and straight"
If 99 gold moves to 88, "88 and upper left"
※ Since there are two pieces to move from the left, "upper" can not be omitted.
98 and gold moves to 88, "88 and go"
