Subject: Brief Biographies Needed of 9 Female Shogi Pros -Reply

I think it is quite "low class" to ask for the measurements of each
of the women of Shogi!  I freely admit some of them are cute but
their measurements are not really an issue. Shogi is after all a game of
intellectual skill; over-emphasizing their physical attributes to my mind
downplays their accomplishments. These are Shogi players not bathing
suit contestants.

For myself I don't see anything wrong in posting their pictures or in
considering them attractive but I don't think they should be treated
like "playmates". Anyway this is my $1 worth.

I suppose we should kill this issue soon though and concentrate
on some more Shogi info. Does anybody think that Sato is destined
to be the next shogi superstar? I wonder how many other contenders
there are.

 age and the measurements of female professional Shogi players.
