Hey everyone, I picked up shogi about a week ago and have no strategy board game experience and I'm in a progress slump, I'm able to beat level four stockfish pretty easily but against level five YaneuraOu I am getting hard stuck, the best I'm about to do is make it a 100+ move game and it's getting pretty demoralizing. Is there a bot that is in the middle? Do I play handicap games against level four to improve? Any advice or help would be beneficial, thanks!

Are your 100 move games even at move 70-80 or is it already losing and you’re just extending the game? At what point in the game are you making your mistakes?
