Detailed Function Explanations:

Challenge authentic AI across 40 levels, perfect for beginners to advanced players. Visual aids show where pieces can move, making it easier for newcomers to learn. Use the "Hint" button to see AI's suggested moves and understand their reasoning. Watch games between players and computers, or play against another person knee-to-knee. You can even switch to a different AI during a game by entering examination mode and selecting "Resume game from this stage" from the menu. Your match results against AI are recorded, and you can customize games with piece dropping, time settings, and rating games.

Improve post-game with the review function, which displays AI's reading lines, your actual moves, and situation evaluations. The game record analysis function automatically searches for bad moves, and you can view the situation evaluation on a graph for easy understanding. Save these analyses in game record files and refer to the official website for detailed instructions on reading the results.

Keep your game records organized. Save games played against AI, and read game records in KIF, KI2, and CSA formats from other apps or published sources. Copy and paste game records to the clipboard, manage them, and access them from clouds like Google Drive and Dropbox. Create start phases and Tsume Shogi phases for further practice.
