From: Hitoshi Matsubara CSLI STANFORD EDU> Date: 24 jan 1994 Subject: a question on chess terms Dear Shogi mailing-list members, I have a question about English terms on chess. Suppose Black is in a losing position. If he continues the "best" moves, he will lose the game definitely. In such a case, human players selects a move that may turn the tables. If White finds the best move, Black is severely defeated. But if White makes a error by any chance, Black can win the game. How do they express the Black's taking-his-chance move? In shogi, we call it "shobu-te". Thank you very much. Hitoshi Matsubara
