Why this board often works on restricted networks
School and work networks often block game sites. This board is built to need very little:
- No download. It is a normal web page. Nothing is installed on the device.
- No account. There is no sign-in page and no email to give.
- No plugins. The board is plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the same things every website uses.
- No game server. The site is a set of static files. Your moves and the computer's replies are worked out in your browser, on your own device. Your moves never leave your device.
We cannot promise the site will load on any particular network. Each school and workplace decides what to allow, and we have no control over that. If this page is blocked where you are, please respect the rule and play at home instead.
What you can do here
Play against the computer at easy, medium, or hard, or switch to two-player mode on the main board and pass the device between turns.

Frequently asked questions
Is this shogi game free to play?
Yes. Every game on this site is free, with no account, no email, and no download. Open the page and the board is ready. You can play against the computer at three difficulty levels or pass the device back and forth for a two-player game.
Will this work on a school Chromebook?
The board only needs a modern web browser, so it should run on a Chromebook if the site loads on your network. Nothing gets installed. If the page is blocked, that is a decision made by whoever runs the network, and this site cannot change it.
Does my game save if I close the tab?
Yes, in most cases. The game saves to your browser after every move, so reopening the page in the same browser picks it up where you left off. Guest sessions, private windows, and browsers that clear site data when closed will start a fresh game instead.
Can you guarantee this site is unblocked everywhere?
No. Every school and workplace sets its own filters, and we cannot see or change them. The page is light and needs no plugins or game server, which is why it often loads where heavier game sites do not. If it is blocked for you, please respect that.
