Shogi Saikyou

Shogi Saikyou (“The Strongest Shogi”) is a shogi game for the Super Famicom developed and published by Mahou, or Magical Company. The game makes frequent use of Buddhist imagery.

It features multiple modes for shogi, including a single-player mode where the player progresses past increasingly difficult AI opponents and a mode where the player customizes the piece placement on a table – say, to simulate the final stages of a famous match – and plays from that point.
