From: Douglas J Dysart UCUNIX SAN UC EDU> Date: 19 apr 1996 Subject: Re: Apology to George Fernandez and yes, more on rules Hi Reijer, Yes, I do have the official chess rules, but I am not sure that I can say that the shogi rules are not as good. I don't have the same booklet that you have. I also believe that the Japanese have a nice system of trust in those who are more experienced or wiser. They don't always have big disputes over rules, but it's not because of what's written, but because what's not written. They simply trust those who should be worthy as such. That's just my impression. Feel free to ask further on the chess rules, or even send a copy of the booklet to me so I can better evaluate it. Douglas Dysart
