Dear Thomas,

>Could somebody answer the following question, a friend of mine has asked me.

>What does the expression  < ikyoku no shogi > mean.

I think it is not < ikyoku no shogi > but < igyoku no shogi>.

<igyoku> means sitting king. We call a game where a king does not move
for a while <igyoku no shogi>.

Yours,

Hitoshi Matsubara
