Dear Allen san,

I'm actually also convinced that such software will help making Shogi better known all over the world.
Here, in France, the Shogi community is already speaking about it and we find this news are really valuable in the idea to promote Shogi to beginners.

According of the kind of people regularly interested in Shogi in France, our next hope would be to see a Shogi manga translated in french.
Since "Hikaru no Go" has been translated, the amount of Go players has grown significantly and we do hope that the publication of Gekka no Kishi, Shion no Ou, or any other good Shogi manga would have a similar effect on Shogi.
Let's hope... ;-)

Fabien
