From: George Jost CA NEWBRIDGE COM> Date: 24 jan 1997 Subject: Fun Kiu employment of Manabu Terao 30!!!! His address? 1) Hi, Manabu can you send me your e-mail address? I'm gjost ca newbridge com. Have questions don't wish to flood list with including corrections for some of your postings, Castle suggestions etc. (I had been waiting for along time for someone to post different castles; don't think beginners can come up with them intuitively) Also can I join the ISPS? 2)Came up with a cool idea, based on the posting of Terao. The method is an innovative way for Kiu players like me to train themselves and each other... I call this the Terao 30 method: Requirements: a) The first 30 moves of a reasonably well matched game between good players. b) Either two Kiu players, or a kiu player and his favorite computer opponent where the later scenario is prefered. c) Randomly each player takes a side and starts playing. Thus, players develop a feel for the methods of attacking and building castles in a non-tedious manner!! Cool. d) On their own players can learn moves to make castles and play real games 3) Looking for really diffent castles! How to defend yourself using an aggressive fast shogi style? How to fight such a style with either a fast style or a slow strong defense style. Where is an "Dearest Daughter"hakoiri mesume) castle used. How about a Air Castle (kuuchuu anagama)? What do they look like? George Jost gjost ca newbridge com If you can't do it right, don't do it wrong in the same way twice!!!
