Shogi World magazine and I learned about the concept. A situation where nether player in mate position and where one player cannot avoid a threatened mate is known as a HISSISHI? Any way I haven't seen any of these on the Web in english have you? (If there were japanese web pages which graphically displayed such possitions that would be o.k; I can read the pieces on a Shogi board but my browser won't display it. I also noticed that Habu was already an impressive force in 1989. When did he achieve prominence? -- George (ESN 395-2895) (613)-765-2895 :) e-mail: jost bnr ca H.G Wells was probably the best science fiction writer of all time. (If others, since, seem to have reached greater heights, it is only because they stand on Well's shoulders.)
