someone told me you have to play on a computer first?

i dont know if that's still true. It was strange restriction.

Hey I'm new to shogi and new to 81 dojo I downloaded the app on my phone but it won't let me play ranked games. What do I have to do to play ranked games?

Just want to mention about 81Dojo. Shogi culture is bigger than 81Dojo. In some respects, 81Dojo takes a narrower view. It's more tournament-like than friendly shogi.

Welcome Gravev! I was also going to recommend Hidetchi's series. It's also worth looking at the wikipedia pages as well as the ones here on 81dojo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi#Rules
http://81dojo.com/documents/Shogi_Etiquette
http://81dojo.com/documents/Rules_and_Manners_of_Shogi

I believe learning the culture of Shogi is just as important as learning the rules.

Welcome to 81Dojo, Gravev! Hidetchi's "How to Play Shogi" playlist is a great place to begin learning the game: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL587865CAE59EB84A

This is 81Dojo's web system for account and data management. The entrance to the shogi app can be found in the main site at https://81dojo.com.
