I just watched a tutorial on Shogi and apparently the pieces are distinguished from each other by the Japanese-language symbols on them, which is a deal-breaker

- Oreb 3y agoYou don’t need to be able to read the character. You only need to be able to remember that the piece that looks like this moves like that. This is no different from western chess.
- vintermann 3y agoIt's really easy to get used to. It's not in principle harder than learning the chess pieces. You don't have to learn what the symbols mean, any more than you do for Mahjong.
