You don't know why you lost
You finish a game with no idea where it went wrong — so you keep losing the same way.
Online Shogi Dojo
Import a game and see your mistakes and the best moves.
Every game you play or import is evaluated move by move by an engine. The evaluation graph shows where the game turned, and the positions you got wrong come back as next-move problems. Free to sign up, and it runs in your browser.

Three steps to getting stronger
Play, review, solve again — all in one account.
-
Play or import
Games against the resident bots or other players are saved automatically. Games from other apps come in by pasting a KIF.
-
See your mistakes
An engine scores every move and the graph shows how the position swung. You see the moves where the evaluation dropped, and the best move in that position.
-
Review with problems
From a full-game analysis, the positions where the evaluation fell can be collected into next-move problems. Your answers are recorded, and the ones you miss come back.
Sound familiar?
You love shogi — but getting stronger is slow. Usually it comes down to these three things.
Your tools are scattered
A play app here, analysis software there, a puzzle book, a folder of game records — jumping between them is a chore.
Real analysis costs money
Pro-grade engine analysis and coaching are expensive, so you can never quite keep it up.
All of it, in one account. That is Shogi Dojo.
Everything, in one place
From playing to study, training and community — the whole improvement loop is built in.
Online Play
Find an opponent in the lobby and play in real time. Pick a time control and rating band — and when nobody is around, the resident bot always takes the game.
Game Review
Branching move trees, SFEN, comments and engine scores. The opening and the castle are detected and tagged for you.
Next-Move Quizzes
Problems organised into decks and lists. Solve against the clock, keep your right/wrong record, publish a list to share it and collect likes.
Engine Analysis
Connect your own USI engine through Shogi Dojo Desktop. Analyse a whole game in one batch and turn its mistakes into a quiz draft automatically.
KIF Files
Organise, upload and download your records in the cloud from the browser. Deleting an imported record can always be undone.
Tournaments & Rating
Enter a tournament and fight your way up. Rated results feed the ranking board.
Circles & Community
Circles, forum, chat, friends and notifications — a place to talk, not only to play.
Stats & Profile
Your record split by time control, your favourite opening and castle, and a collection of every opening and castle you have reached.
