I think it is nice game. >>13 P1g-1f 13 P1c-1d 14 L9i-9h >14 L9i-9h This move of Kyosya may not effective in this opening. Mr. Randy Andrews also has the same idea. What is the alternative move other than L9i-9h? >> 25 B9i-4d+ 26 +R6b-7b 26 R8c-8i+ 27 P4g-4f 27 P1d-1e >26 +R6b-7b; I think +R6b-6a will be better, next you can get L or >G*5b also alternative. I did not choose +R6b-7b, because I did not like next sequences: 26 +R6b-6a 27 G4a-5a 28 +R6a-9a 29 b*6d 30 +R9a-9b 31 n*3f >>I hope I could find many shogi players on IGS and all of them could >>enjoy Shogi there. > >Is it easy to play shogi on the IGS server ? >Nobuyoshi Fujimoto I think it is the only server to play shogi in real-time. It is still character-based, and could be enhanced. To tell the truth, I have a real Shogi board and put it aside my MAC during the play. However, I didn't expect much to the IGS. The problem is the small popularity of Shogi player on IGS rather than the server itself. Takeshi Miyao Hitachi, Ltd. Omika Works miyao omika austin ibm com
