Kanso-sen (Review the game)
About Kanoso-sen
Kanoso-sen is a part of shogi to review the game with the opponent player
after finishing the match. This is a very interesting and useful part of
shogi game because we can learn what other moves were possible during the
match which could have been better not only from black player but also
from white player. Then you can experience the game from both sides which
improve your shogi sense for the next match.
Therefore, a good player never misses an opportunity to have a kanso-sen
considering a very important part of "enjoyment" of shogi. In
fact, Mr. Habu tends to take much more time for Kanso-sen than the time
for the game itself.
Manners on the net
As this is a part of game (until Kanso-sen finishes, the game itself does
not finish.), it is considered not polite to leave without saying anything
even if you have a family matter and so on. It is rude to leave without
a word especially to start a next game! Because the opponent player could
have wanted to pursue other moves in Kanso-sen discussing with you.
The length of Kanso-sen is totally depending on the excitement of the game
and the availability of the opponent player and YOU. If you have to leave
during the Kanso-sen, please tell politely in advance before leaving. This
is the same manner as in the face to face shogi match.
(In ISC official games like monthly game or international friendly match,
we would recommend 15 minutes Kanso-sen as "maximum" in case
there is a next match planned in the game schedule.)
Then Kanso-sen itself basically belongs to two players not to watchers
but watchers can join as far as they respaec that point and try to help
a positive development of Kanso-sen.
