I'm up for as many games as you want, but I'll wait for Twister's response in case he wants to play the next game.

I think I have too much of a defensive strategy, both in Shogi and Chess. I'm never aggressive enough to put my opponent in check, never mind win a game.

I think we both had a good strong defense around our kings, but once you got those two nasty rooks behind my ranks I was doomed to failure. If I had payed more attention to your pieces advancing in the eighth file I would have defended my turf on that side of the board a little better. Unfortunately for me, I was too concerned with getting my king protected that I largely ignored anything not directly threatening at the time.

I managed to set up a decent defense on the left side of the board, but like last game, I didn't account for the paratroopers as much as I should, and when I lost my rook, my defense was weakened a lot while your offense was strengthened nearly as much. I think I did better than last time in regards to forming a defense around my king, but since that was my only strong defense, I didn't hold out as long as last game.

I think I ought to have put my king and my lance in opposite spots, since only two pieces were directly defending my king, while four were defending the lance. :P Had I done that, there would have been four pieces defending the king, and three defending the lance. I guess it's just something to consider next game.
