From: Tor DD CHALMERS SE> Date: 21 apr 2002 Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-1?q?=22ericsson=22?= Hi I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, and I also was surprised to see such a strong player claiming to live in Stockholm. After chatting with him, it turned out that he lives in Japan but wants to work at 'Ericsson', the company. His connection to Sweden was apart from this ambition none. Tor Gammelgård ------------------- > I happened to notice a player on "Shogidojo" using the handle "ericsson" and claiming to be from Stockholm, with a rating of 2455 after 70 games, which is solidly in the range of professional players. 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 >
