I can't say that I know Shogi rules completely.
NHK's Shogi games on the weekend change channels in 3 seconds.
No matter what Shogi title whoever gets, I'm not interested at all.

However, mysteriously, I really like Shogi comics and anime.
"Shogi Meshi", "Reborn Shougi Player", "March Lion", "Ryuou's Work", etc.
I'm not sure for the reason.
"Two people zero sum limited to determine the complete information game"
I sometimes think that the reasons are natures of the game, however, I also think "Go", "chess", and "Othello" are also acceptable.
Also, Shougi also has exceptions, like a rules of "Sennichite".

I think that for for cowards like me, who cannot bet my life for a game, I have a longing for a person to bet on their life in a "zero-sum game (a game in which winning and losing are definitely decided)"
