Subject: Shogi problem reposted--error correction in King notation.

> This problem had been posed:
 
*It has been pointed out that I made a big mistake!  I had the white
 King (wK) listed as the black King (bK)!  Sorry!  Chris.*
 
My question is, would there have been any way to save BOTH
the black B+ and the black R+?  I ended up sacrificing the B+.
Pieces not listed are at the other end of the board and in no
immediate danger of attack (that's why I didn't list them).
