There's a bot called hamshogi that I'm using to get the hang of it. You can select the handicap and gradually build up. There's some excercises as well, and I've been watching lessons on youtube on castling and stuff.
I like it a lot more than regular chess, it's more dynamic. (Not that I'm a chess fan
) You see, when a piece is captured, it doesn't disappear out of the game: the players can 'drop' captured pieces during play, which makes things a lot more interesting.
