Hello Jochen,

would you please be so kind and explain once for the beginners
(like me) here, how to read a result table of a Shogi tournament?

I always wonder what these abbreviations 'MMS', 'SOS' etc mean,
as well as the 3+ and 1- and so on...

> Pl. Name                    Str MMS  1   2   3   4   Pt  SOS SODOS
> CUSS
> 1   Yagi Soichi             4d   4   3+  5+  2+  4+  4   10   10 10
> 2   Someno Shinobu          1d   3   8+  4+  1-  5+  3   9    5   8
> 3   Engelhardt, Alexander   2k   3   1-  6+  7+  8+  3   9    5   6
> 4   Majewski, Thomas        2d   2   7+  2-  9+  1-  2   10   3   6
...

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely yours,
