I have not had time to analyse the games myself as I have returned from
Japan with a backlog of commitments. Ultimately I want comments on all the
games as none were easy wins. I imagine that the Kanazawa and IS-Shogi
games are probably the most interesting to look at, but you might see
something more interesting in one of the other 5 games. I have an open mind.
Any input is welcome.

Thanks for the offer. I look forward to your comments.
