Sayangnya, instruksinya tertulis dalam bahasa jepang sehingga tidak dapat dimengerti. Beberapa hari yang lalu saya belajar main shogi dari anggota lab yang paling jago, matsui-san. Shogi adalah permainan catur jepang yang sepertinya mempunyai asal usul yang sama dengan catur internasional dan catur cina. Hal ini terlihat dari cara jalan buah catur yang mirip.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Yang membuat permainan ini lebih menarik adalah penggunaan buah yang sudah "ditelan", yaitu dapat digunakan untuk balik melawan musuh. Dapat ditaruh dimana saja di papan layaknya pasukan para. Para pemain catur internasional akan terkejut karena mengira diri sudah aman dan mendadak...skak! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Masalah yang paling kentara adalah sulitnya membedakan satu kanji dengan kanji lainnya. Tidak seperti catur, buah shogi berbentuk trapesium pipih dan hanya dibedakan dari ukuran dan kanji yang tertulis di atasnya. Kadang saya terkejut karena salah mengira; maklum, selain kanjinya mirip, cara jalan buahnya dan sebutannya (kin dan gin, emas dan perak) juga mirip.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Untungnya lawan pertama saya adalah orang Jepang yang "murtad" alias jarang bermain shogi. Alhasil dengan sedikit keberuntungan saya berhasil menang dalam pertempuran pertama saya. Banzai!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KESIMPULAN:&lt;br /&gt;Shogi asyik untuk dimainkan (jika dan hanya jika saya yang menang).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934940245972485971-6761092046810565184?l=ysepsaiko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ysepsaiko.blogspot.com/feeds/6761092046810565184/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2934940245972485971&amp;postID=6761092046810565184' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2934940245972485971/posts/default/6761092046810565184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2934940245972485971/posts/default/6761092046810565184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ysepsaiko.blogspot.com/2007/10/shoginan-desuka.html' title='shogi...nan desuka?'/><author><name>Adhitya "saiko" Bhaswara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03826809996131775034</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934940245972485971.post-5407225767498336392</id><published>2007-09-27T09:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-18T15:16:12.120-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Introduction...let's keep it short.</title><content type='html'>Hajimemashite!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name's Adhitya Bhaswara, but my comrades (and professors) usually call me saiko. Douzo Yoroshiku.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;As you have known, I came here as a YSEP student and will be goofing around at Tokodai for about a year. I came from Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia. My major back then was engineering physics (don't ask what it is). Now,I am studying Organic Thin Film Transistors (it sounds cool, whatever it is..) at Majima Lab, Physical Electronics department. Since the lab members are all hataraki-man, I hope they can give some of their diligence and energy to the 'ol lazy me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I had been in japan for about two weeks and I still haven't seen a lot of attractions in Japan, especially Tokyo. Hopefully I can see the sakura blooming and snow (yay! we don't have snows in Indonesia). But I have gone to Tokyo Game show at Makuhari a week ago and I'll say that japan has great games....and spg's.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I don't have a digital camera or a cellphone with camera, you'll have to excuse me for the lack of pictures. I'll put some nice photos once I fetch one in Akihabara (or is it Akiba?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it for now. Later then. Over and out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S:&lt;br /&gt;Does any of you know what "pino" is? I remember someone told me it's a way of life...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934940245972485971-5407225767498336392?l=ysepsaiko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ysepsaiko.blogspot.com/feeds/5407225767498336392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2934940245972485971&amp;postID=5407225767498336392' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2934940245972485971/posts/default/5407225767498336392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2934940245972485971/posts/default/5407225767498336392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ysepsaiko.blogspot.com/2007/09/introductionlets-keep-it-short.html' title='Introduction...let&apos;s keep it short.'/><author><name>Adhitya "saiko" Bhaswara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03826809996131775034</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
