Subject: New Shogi Variants Program

Hello all,

I have just uploaded a new version of my Windows Shogi Variants program
to my web page.

Among the changes is the addition of a basic computer player for Shogi
itself and the variants up to Wa (11 x 11 board), and the much requested
provision to save game preferences.

The computer player is still in the early development stages, and will
hopefully be significantly improved in speed and AI in future versions.
(For example, by the next version I expect the move search speed to be
increased by a factor of at least 5).

The current version can be downloaded from:
