Sincerely, Yoshi Niwata (Leader of ISC) -----Original Message----- From: Reijer Grimbergen [mailto:grimbergen fu is saga-u ac jp] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 11:08 AM To: shogi-l Subject: Tanigawa's Lightning Speed Endgame Technique Hi all, Tanigawa's "Lightning Speed Endgame Technique" (Kousoku no Shubanjutsu") was published by the Shogi Renmei in December 1988 is still considered to be one of the best books on shogi ever written. Providing rare insights into the thought processes of top professionals in the endgame, it is a must-read for every shogi player who wants to take his or her game to a level higher than 3-dan amateur. Taking examples from his own games, the young Meijin Tanigawa explains his way of thinking and techniques for converting a good or winning position into a victory. Richard Sams, a professional translator of Japanese and shogi enthusiast, has taken up the huge task of translating this classic book into English and publishing those translations on my web pages. The first three chapters have now been translated into English and are available here: http://www.fu.is.saga-u.ac.jp/~grimberg/SHOGI/TANIGAWABOOK/tanigawabookm ain.html Richard hopes to translate one or two chapters every month and of course we will announce the additions here on shogi-l.
