Strategy and study tips for the games on TsumeDojo — how to practice, what to focus on, and how to keep improving.
- What to Discard: Five-Block Theory and Spotting Useless Tiles Before you count tile acceptance, decide which blocks to keep — the five-block framework. Block strength order and the discard order for isolated tiles.
- How to Win at Gomoku (Five in a Row): Threes, Fours, and the Four-Three The basics that win free-style gomoku: forcing with threes and fours, the unstoppable open four and four-three, watching the opponent's threats, and how Renju differs.
- Tsume Shogi Mating Patterns and Core Techniques From the basic gold mates to escape-cutting, the escorting sacrifice, double check, and the pawn-drop-mate rule — the recurring patterns that show up in tsume shogi, with clear explanations.
- Shogi Endgame: Mate Threats, Brinkmate (Hisshi), and the Mating Attack Turn the mates you drill in tsume shogi into real-game wins: mate threats (tsumero), brinkmate (hisshi), the mating attack (yose), and counting the race.
