Subject: Shocky 1.81

I have fixed one silly bug in Shocky 1.8 (my shogi program) and released a
new version 1.81. New version can be downloaded from Shocky's homepage

        http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/~pmturune/Shocky_e.html

I believe that the fixed bug was the main reason for dumb moves Shocky 1.8
made at end-game positions. Shocky 1.8 wasted obvious mating opportunities
and losed games when mating could have been prevented.

I would be very happy to have any kind of comments on Shocky.
