Thanks Reijer for your ever interesting summary of pro shogi.
Do you have any plans to provide the game details of the Maruyama Habu game
(or any of the other 10 games) in the JT series? Or are the JT game scores
somewhere else on the web? I would like to see how their quick games
compare with their earlier title games.
