From: Mark Schreiber hotmail com> Date: 10 may 2007 Subject: RE: Freeware WCSC Programs! Hi Bernhard, I found 3 free Shogi programs not in your list. 1) GNU Shogi. GNU reached 7th place in the 5th CSA Championship. 2) Phil Holland's Shogi 4.1. 3) Steve Evans' Shogi program There will also be Tord Romstad=91s program. He wrote a strong chess=20 program. I expect his shogi program will be strong. Tell us which programs you beat and which programs beat you.
