Well, I am a beginner now, I just started a couple months ago.&nb= sp; I have played chess regularly socially since I was a kid, and sinc= e www.chess.fm launched their ches= s broadcasting site I have learned a lot from there lectures.  It= has helped place my weaknesses and strengths in some relationship to = a standardized "ladder".  I consider myself more of a strategist, and = I often get side-tracked on variations which lead to nowhere (shogi and che= ss).  So, tactics are where my weaknesses lie.  I am living in Ja= pan so I have chances to play over the board and get instructions= .  Many times I am told to make certain moves, and while I can accept = those as "good" moves I also see other "good" moves and determining wh= ich is the best move escapes me as I continue to think out sequences i= n the first "good" move I come across which isn't necessarily the best.

To all Shogi players and writers,
 
Regarding email just sent outI forgot to add th= at I would like suggestions from others regarding the production of a shogi= volume about shogi history, club activity, and experiences outside of= Japan in my previous email.
 
Therefore, if any others wish to contribute a chapter to such a small-= scale endeavour, please let me know. Ideally, there would be a chapter= from Sweden, another from Germany, another from Austria, one from France, = one from Holland, one from Italy, one from the USA, etc. and it could = prove to be exceptionally interesting reading.
 
In other words, perhaps a volume about shogi activities outside of Jap= an could be produced as a joint effort between certain shogi associations a= nd/or a group of interested private individuals. I am certainly open to any= suggestions and would very much like to organize such a project.
 
Any "profits" generated from such a project could be used towards subs= idizing the cost and translation of the book's production, etc., and I coul= d arrange for it to be printed, translated, distributed, and so forth.
 
After all, shogi does have a unique history, not only within Japan but= outside of Japan, too, and it is perhaps time, as the 3rd International Sh= ogi Forum approaches, to document its history and present-day activities.
 
Advice and/or suggestions is most welcome.
 
Regards,
Brian Wald  (President, Canadian Shogi Federation)
