No.1
January 2025
History is the central theme of the first issue and, perhaps, one of the key areas of development for Ginkammuri magazine in the future. In this issue, for example, we have gathered little-known but, as we believe, significant games in the history of European shogi, illustrated with unique photographs. Additionally, we have conducted in-depth historical investigations to uncover unknown chapters of the past world of board games and captivate you with their fascinating stories.
Highlights in this issue:
- Ito Takumi in Minsk
- An in-depth interview with Sergei Korchitsky
- The mystery of the first commercial shogi localization outside Japan
- The favorite strategy of top Belarusian shogi players
- The origin of the game of draughts
