Subject: Stay patiently at ISS!

Dear shogi friends,

I often login at ISS (Internet Shogi Server), and now it is much easier
to find an opponent than before. Just stay patiently at ISS when you
have logged in! If you are prepared to spend some hours for a game, then
 you should of course be prepared to spend some minutes waiting for an
opponent! While you are waiting you can for instance check which were
the last persons to login. Then you just type the command "last", and
you will get an idea of the login frequency at present. We must build
bridges between the occasional login islands! Then we will continously
have games being played at ISS. And if there are games being played
already when you login, you can observe them while you are waiting for
an opponent. So, again: If you do not find an opponent immediately, just
stay patiently at ISS!


                                        Sincerely yours,

                                        Dr Martin Danerud
