Shōgi Matsuri is a digital conversion of the traditional Japanese board game Shogi for one or two players, featuring the endorsement of the Japan Shogi Association (JSA), which has been the main organizing body for professional Shogi in Japan since 1924. In addition to standard play against another player or the computer at three skill levels, it includes a number of additional modes and options: • A tutorial for beginners to learn the basic rules of Shogi • Viewable recordings of over 1000 professional Shogi matches • A "next move" quiz where the player must choose the next move in 20 different situations (from a total of over 250), with the computer ranking the player's performance at the end • A tournament mode that simulates several prominent real-life Shogi tournaments • A prize mode where the player must solve several Shogi problems; successfully completing all of them displays a certificate that could be sent to the JSA for a Shogi-related prize • Komaochi Jōseki, or Piece Drop mode where the player can practice specific situations at a disadvantage against the computer • Tsume Shogi (Shogi Puzzle) mode with 400 problems at multiple difficulty levels to solve, including famous historical problems • Shogi Quiz where the player must answer 30 true-or-false questions about Shogi • A database of information about professional Shogi players circa 1995
