Dragon King ( 竜 王 ryu ::: «королев драк драк» »»))))) , abbreviated dragon ( сокращ 王 ryu:) - shogi figure.
Designation in European notation: + R (occasionally, D ).
Ancient spelling: 龍王 (reading is the same). The alternative name is “inverted (or transformed) rook”.
At the beginning of the game, there are no dragons. After the coup, the rook becomes a dragon.
The general term “dragons” is used when speaking about inverted elephants and rooks without accentuating the type of figure.
Also, Ryuo ( 竜 王 ryu::: , “Dragon King”) is the name of one of the seven main title matches of the shogi (“crowns”), which is equal in importance to the match for the meijin title.

Value
The value of a dragon (if we consider the value of a pawn as 1), according to various shogists , is:
- 15 ( Michio Ariyoshi , 9th professional dan [1] .)
- 17 ( Larry Kaufman , 5th dan of FESA [2] and Koji Tanigawa , 17th lifetime meijin [3] )
- 22 ( Yasumitsu Sato , 4th lifetime kisei [3] )
The shogi dragon is the most valuable figure after the king. However, even it is often beneficial to give it up for two generals in the EUE (and sometimes a much less valuable set), if this gives a quick approach to the enemy king.
Dragon Proverbs
- One can only dream of an attack with two dragons.
- It is better for the dragon to be inside [4] (that is, to remain in the enemy’s camp, because there its maximum efficiency).
Chu Shogi
Each player at the beginning of the game has 2 dragons (standing on the 3rd horizontal line from the player, on the 5th and 8th verticals). The dragon goes to the shogi the same way as in the classic shogi, but turns into a soaring eagle .
In addition, rooks are turned over into a dragon in a shogi (which each player also has 2 at the beginning of the game); such dragons (inverted from rooks) can no longer roll over.
