Subject: Re: How to play shogi on the web?

My workplace proxy/firewall doesn't allow the java applet of shogi dojo to
work at all.
On the other hand it doesn't allow any java applet to work at all including
the yahoo gameplay applet for shogi.
On the other hand my home computer plays shogi dojo just fine (which is
where we should be playing games anyway).

Thanks, Dana

I will give you one good reason to my point of view : my proxy/firewall
doesn't allow the java applet of shogi dojo to work properly... :-(
Perhaps other people are in the same case than me.

      Why would any non-Japanese speaking shogi player bother with Yahoo,
when ShogiDojo is free, has hundreds of players (sometimes thousands) all
the time, a rating system, and has everything important translated to
English?  Am I missing some advantage of Yahoo, or are you just unaware of
ShogiDojo (also known as Shogi Club 24)?
