From: "Randal J. Andrews" IX NETCOM COM> Date: 21 mar 1997 Subject: Re: Do we need more book written by Japanese shogi player? A group called Space Sano came out with a book "First Step to Shogi" 2 years ago, along with promises of further books. However, nothing has been heard from them in a long time. They promised to translate the 3 volume "Shogi Wa Fu Kara" among other books. Probably sales of the first book were disappointing. However, you don't have to know Japanese to appreciate games in the Japanese books and magazines. I know very little Japanese, but I found the below game fascinating to play over even without being able to read the commentary. 1992 July 7 Sente: Nakahara Makoto Gote: Fukuzaki Bungo from 7/96 issue of Kindai Shogi. 1 P2g-2f 1 P3c-3d 2 P7g-7f 2 P4c-4d 3 P2f-2e 3 B2b-3c 4 S3i-4h 4 R8b-2b 5 K5i-6h 5 S3a-4b 6 K6h-7h 6 K5a-6b 7 G4i-5h 7 K6b-7b 8 P5g-5f 8 K7b-8b 9 P9g-9f 9 L9a-9b 10 B8h-7g 10 P5c-5d 11 K7h-8h 11 S4b-5c 12 S7i-7h 12 P7c-7d 13 P6g-6f 13 P4d-4e 14 G5h-6g 14 K8b-9a 15 S4h-5g 15 S7a-8b 16 P8g-8f 16 S5c-4d 17 S7h-8g 17 G6a-7a 18 G6i-7h 18 G4a-5b 19 P8f-8e 19 P6c-6d 20 B7g-8f 20 G5b-6c 21 N8i-7g 21 B3c-4b 22 P6f-6e 22 S4d-5c 23 P6ex6d 23 S5cx6d 24 P*6e 24 S6d-5c 25 S5g-6f 25 B4b-3c 26 P5f-5e 26 P5dx5e 27 P7f-7e 27 R2b-7b 28 R2h-2f 28 P7dx7e 29 S6fx7e 29 B3c-4b 30 R2f-6f 30 R7b-6b 31 P*7d 31 P*7b 32 G6g-7f 32 G6c-5d 33 R6f-3f 33 G5d-4d 34 P9f-9e 34 R6b-6a 35 P8e-8d 35 P8cx8d 36 S7ex8d 36 P*8c 37 S8dx8c+ 37 S8bx8c 38 P*8d 38 S8cx7d 39 P*7e 39 S7d-6c 40 P8d-8c+ 40 S*8b 41 +P8cx8b 41 G7ax8b 42 G7f-8e 42 P*8c 43 P7e-7d 43 G4d-4c 44 P4g-4f 44 P5e-5f 45 P4fx4e 45 P5f-5g+ 46 P4e-4d 46 G4cx4d 47 R3f-7f 47 P*6f 48 P9e-9d 48 P9cx9d 49 P*9c 49 L9bx9c 50 G8ex9d 50 L9cx9d 51 L9ix9d 51 P*9c 52 L9dx9c+ 52 N8ax9c 53 P*9d 53 P*9b 54 P9dx9c+ 54 P9bx9c 55 P*9d 55 P9cx9d 56 N7g-8e 56 L*8d 57 L*9c 57 K9a-8a 58 S*9a 58 L8dx8e 59 S9ax8b+ 59 K8ax8b 60 G*9b 60 K8b-7a 61 P7d-7c+ 61 N*9f 62 K8h-9g
