Dear Shogi-L readers,

In the book "Habu's Words" there was an error.

The comment Habu is indicated in a final position on Diagram 9 in a part 3:

30.08.1998, Leiden, Europe championship, 7 round

      White (Reijer Grimbergen)  N N L P P

      Black (Matt Casters)       S N P P

  Diagram 9. After 53.B'7e

There white resigned (1-0). I see next variant (comment in book):
53. ... K-5e 54.S'4e +R7i-2i 55.S-2h with win for black.

I think that white must to win there. See next:
55. ... +R1ix2h 56.Gx2h S'3h 57.K-3g +Rx2h 58.K-4h (if 58.Kx2h
than 58. ... G'2g 59.K-1i L'1h mat) +R-3i 59.K-5h (59.K-3g G'2g mat) +R-4i
60.K-6h G'7g tsume

What you think in this occasion?
May be I read wrong text?
