Although it is good manners to display the pieces in hand, I think one= needs to know that there is no rule regarding the display and no penalty f= or concealing them - some players in the past always held them secreted in = their hands anyway. After all,it matters not, your opponent is l= ogically held to know of course, what you have anyway. See "Shogi for Begin= ners" page 143, which has an extensive chapter on rules and etiquette.

Hi,

One can play the game without using actual komadai in casual games.

But there are important manners.

1. One has to show all the pieces that one captured.

2. Don't reverse pieces that one captured.

In my case, when I don't have komadai, I use the top part and the bott= om

part of the pieces container as komadai.

I'm sorry if I'm being too particular with the minor details of the

game. Rest assured that I love the game itself very much, a= nd is why

I'm drawn to ask these questions in the first place. I'm al= so trying to

learn the details of etiquettes and accessories of the game.

Can one play the game without using actual komadai? If so, = where does

one put the pieces if he plays without komadai?
