Similar questions often appear in Shogi magagines here in Japan also. [Ikkyoku no Shogi] itself means "a game of Shogi" which gives us no clue to understand what's really meant by that. Japanese "professional" players like to make a comment saying that; "It'll be an Ikkyoku no Shogi if you played another move here in this position " At that time he wants to say; "The game will become quite different kind of game if you have selected anothe r choice here." It's an expression contary to; "You will have a same result even you played another move here." The above is my personal understanding. ------- END forwarded message ------- ------------------------------------------------------------ Toshiya Kawakami E-mail: GHE01101 niftyserve or jp ------------------------------------------------------------
