Subject: Shogi on ItsYourTurn.com???

I've just rejoined the list after some years, so forgive me if I'm
repeating a previous discussion, irritating an old wound or whatever...

A representative at ItsYourTurn.com has informed me that Shogi is on the
long-term to-do list of games to add to its current roster, which
incidentally now includes Xiangqi. I'll bet a bit of nudging from the
Shogi community, particularly those of us in the west who have few live
human opponents,  might just move that item a little further up the
priority list.  In any case, I think they should realize that it's an
idea whose time has come.

For those of you not familiar with the concept, a chief advantage to
ItsYourTurn is that it is not java based, so those of us wishing to
spend a lunch hour at work tossing off a game or two aren't cut off by a
corporate firewall or sludgy transfer rates. It's not exactly real time,
but you have an html board to move on, and you are notified by email of
your opponents response (or you can just check the page for game
status). Sort of between email shogi and the real-time java variety.

This is FYI and not a paid promotion.
