From: Yoshi Niwata SEA UCATV NE JP> Date: 16 feb 2003 Subject: Re: Interesting games in the Internet match Dear everyone, As Martin kindly reported, the friendly match between Sweden vs ISC was successfully finished! We enjoyed each official match and also played extra games with Swedish shogi friends. Actually I lost in two extra games ...though. ISC players were impressed a lot and everyone says they deserve much higher ratings. All matches were really close and good ones. We put the match record & all kifu on our website soon. Thank you very much for all your support from Swedish team and hope we can meet you soon in DOJO.
