The Bottom Line If you learn Joseki, Tesuji, Kakoikuzushi, and Tsume Shogi, you’ll generally be in good shape. In terms of priority, it feels like: Joseki = Tesuji = Kakoikuzushi >> Tsume Shogi. That said, doing a moderate amount of Tsume Shogi is still important. Many of the commonly discussed methods for improving at shogi come from Japan. For players outside the country, it can be hard to know what to study, so I’ve summarized the key points here. 1.
