shogi sensei

In shogi, a “sensei” typically refers to an experienced instructor or master who teaches or guides players in the game. They possess deep knowledge of strategies, tactics, and the complexities of shogi, often sharing their expertise through coaching, writing, or tournaments. The term can also be used more broadly to describe a senior or highly skilled player recognized for their understanding and contribution to the game’s community. Like in martial arts, “sensei” conveys respect for their mastery and mentorship role, helping others improve their skills and appreciate shogi’s strategic depth.
