I am not the type of person to say "I told you so", but I told you so. >Many of you may know Mr. Sato as the very friendly young gentleman who >together with his friend and fellow-Shogi professional Mr. Murooka visits >the outskirts of the world in order to play the western variant of Shogi >(a.k.a. Chess) and to meet with Shogi friends in the West. I think I speak >for many Western and Japanese Shogi players when saying that I am very >happy with his result. I think congratulations to Mr. Sato are in order. > Indeed. Mr. Sato's achievement is comparable to winning a top chess tournament ahead of Kasparov. Mr. Habu is currently without doubt the best player in the game. Beating him in a best of seven match is quite remarkable. >I won't be able to type in the game as I will be off to California for a >week, but the game score should be available soon. > I am sure it is. I hope any of the Japanese out there can type it in. Reijer Grimbergen * You can fool some of the people all the NICI * time and all the people some of the P.O.
