From: Dick Iwakura MA KCOM NE JP> Date: 16 feb 1998 Subject: Re: The result of the 8th Computer Shogi Championship Hi, Sawada san, The Shottest has been programmed by an English guy who does not know Shogi so well. Congratulations on his good records! I wonder how he could manage to establish the winning environment under such conditions and had beaten the strong AI Shogi (YSS8.0) though AI made several mistakes at JOBAN stage. Computer's shogi ability came to PRO.level at TSUMI stage already. I still feel a little safety for other points Thanks to Nyanko Miyagawa's efforts to submit several Kifus into my Shogi ML today.
