Larry san,

These are the statics to be used in almost of Japanese
Shogi Clubs which Shogi Renmei also recommends :

1 Dan difference ---- Sente       (Black)
2  :      :      ---- Kyo Ochi    (Lance)
3  :      :      ---- Kaku Ochi   (Bishop)
4  :      :      ---- Hisha Ochi  (Rook)
5  :      :      ---- Hisha-Kyo Ochi (R,L)
6  :      :      ---- 2 Mai Ochi  (R,B)
7  :      :      ---- 4 Mai Ochi  (R,B, 2L)
8  :      :      ---- 6 Mai Ochi  (R,B,2L,2N)

Please follow the above recommendation for shogi's
standardization unless western shogi players feel
any inconveniences. (^_^)
