I also think that there are no legal grounds that favor pros even in Japan. By the way, how about chess problems themselves? A problem is created by the composer, is reflected by unified intention, and is not a historical fact. Negative factors for problem copyrightability are fewer than that of game record. However it is not clear in Japan whether Tsume-Shogi is copyrightable or not. Perhaps also Tsume-Go... Regards, ________ YAMADA Tsuyoshi (tsuya george24 com)
