Knowing how to build a castle in shogi is one thing. Knowing exactly where it breaks is what separates intermediate players from strong ones. This book focuses on the critical weak points of castles — the specific squares that, when targeted, cause a formation to collapse — and teaches you how to exploit them on attack and reinforce them on defense.
You are walked through a wide range of castles that appear frequently in amateur games, from Mino and Anaguma to formations used in handicap play. For each castle, the author explains why a particular square qualifies as a weak point, then presents representative tesuji for both attacking and defending that square. Rather than asking you to memorize set patterns that only work under narrow conditions, the book builds your understanding of each castle's structural characteristics so you can adapt in actual games.
