<< Obviously, the composed tsumi shogi programs to
 which Mr. Fernandez refers do not come from "a practical game". >>

Possibly - but most tsumeshogi problems are intended to be local situations
of actual games.  I'm not talking about the 119 move tsumeshogi type of
course.  Having been working on narazu tsumeshogi lately in a book I've got,
I will say that I've never had the situation occur personally where I don't
promote a rook or bishop, but I am starting to look over the situation before
I just blindly flip it over.  I'd be REAL upset if I lost because I did
promote.  :)

BTW, I'm all for keeping the discussion on shogi-L.  I enjoy discussion on a
discussion list.  How long were we all "chatting" about western notation?  :)
