Subject: shogi booklets

We all know about the very limited literature about Shogi in non-Japanese
languages. We presume that Shogi fans outside of Japan are starving for
translated material.
Shogi Deutschland  made two booklets about Shogi openings. One about the
Yagura (Fortress opening- 90 pages ) and the Shikenbisha opening ( fourth
file rook - 115 pages) . Contents are translated Japanese articles from
Shogi magazines and  a Shogi weekly. The authors are Shogi pros. The
booklets are entirely in GERMAN. There is no commercial background to this.
We made them mainly for our members, but anybody who wishes a copy can
purchase them as well. Due to the limited number of copies we hand them out
on a strict first comes first basis.
Price is 20,- DM plus p + p each. For further enquiries please refer to :
