Category:Free class shogi players

Professional shogi players who belong to the so-called free class (フリークラス) are not a part of the Meijin tournament system that most professional players participate in.

A professional player may become a free class voluntarily by declaring themselves to be a free class player, which somewhat like a partial retirement in that the player thinks that their best shogi days are now over and no longer wishes to compete for the Meijin title. Other players gain free class status via demotion within the Meijin tournament based on poor winning results.
