From: MacGyver INDYCMS BITNET> Date: 21 nov 1990 Subject: Shogi Fundamentals Questions Greetings and salutations. I've been watching the list from afar since joining several months ago. I learned Shogi and Xiang-chi after crippling a knee playing soccer. I'm currently taking Japanese and Chinese (1st semester for each) as a way to get better insights into the cultures and be able to read materials from the native countries and seem to be in short supply in English. I've got the few books available from Ishi Press and receive Shogi World and have a couple of each of the native language sets for each game (I wanted to avoid the typical American arrogance and the crutch of westernized markings). What I'm looking for are ideas for receiving other magazines and books but not necessarily in English. My time is understandably limited because of studying both languages but when I do have time, I'd like to learn more about both games whereas I understand the fundamentals now. P.S. Keep up the good work. I enjoy reading this list.
