        Dear Mr.Sawada,

        Before I make my comments to your game, kindly confirm the movements which
        I could not understand well.

                I am waiting for your answer for my questions above.

                If you are not so skilful to write western notation, you can
                wirte Rome-Ji notation. (Somebody in Shogi-L will translate for you
                quickly).

                                                Best regards    Dick Iwakura
                                                                Hong Kong Shogi Club
