Shogi Saikyou II: Jissen Taikyoku-hen

About

This is a Shogi game built around solving puzzles in the Japanese strategy board game. You move pieces across a 9x9 grid to checkmate opponents in over 80 scenarios. Each level has set starting positions and difficulty ratings from beginner to expert. The single-player mode focuses entirely on tactical puzzles rather than full matches. The game stands out for its deep challenge and structured progression. Players can test skills through ranked scenarios that increase in complexity. While no modern data exists, fans of classic Shogi titles often mention this sequel as a sharper test of strategy compared to its 1990 predecessor. The Super Famicom version remains the most complete release of the series.
