Rare: "Tsume-shogi Classroom Applicable to Practical Play" by Ryuji Murayama

"Practical Application Tsume-shogi Classroom" by Ryuji Murayama

This book, published in 1969, is packed with information about tsume-shogi (checkmate problems). It's a precursor to the author's "Tsume-shogi Technique Classroom," which is now considered a rare book.

It's divided into three parts:
* Part 1: Analyzes tsume-shogi from various angles.
* Part 2: Features 100 tsume-shogi problems created by the author.
* Part 3: Covers various topics such as how to create problems and curved checkmates.

Tatsuya Nikaido, then a 8-dan professional, proofread the book and wrote the preface. Please refer to the attached photos for the content.

The text has no writing, as far as I can see, except for two pages with underlining, as shown in the last photo. There are no major flaws on the cover, edges, or top/bottom, but as it is an old book, there is some age-related deterioration such as yellowing and corner folds. I have handled it with care, but it is a used item, so please understand this before purchasing.

Thank you for your interest.

I'm reluctantly selling these books because I have too many shogi books and can't bear my family's disapproving looks. I'm gradually listing:
* Books also available at the local library
* Joseki books for opening positions I don't play
* Tsume-shogi and "next move" problems that I've solved or given up on.

Thank you for your consideration.
