From: "N." POST NETLINK SE> Date: 21 apr 2002 Subject: Re: "ericsson" I live in Stockholm and that seems to be a resonable explanation. Another one is that he has no connection to Stockholm whatsoever and only uses this rather well-known name and location to create a little bit "confusion". As far as I know the best Swedish players in Stockholm has a rating of about 1Dan-1Kyu and their names are nothing like Ericsson.

Since so far as I know no Swedish (or any other non-Japanese player) player is remotely near professional strength, I wonder if anyone can explain this. Perhaps a visiting pro played on Shogidojo while in Sweden and used this name?? Or has some top Japanese amateur moved to Sweden? > > Larry Kaufman >
