Thank you very much Peter.

I work in Brussels, and have free train tickets for Brussels,
but we are now the 14-05-2007 snif, snif, snif.

Hans Secelle should probably also be very very disappointed.

I don't know who is and how good Ralf Akeson is, but he is an IGM.

Beating Pedrag Nikolic is a fantastic performance for Habu.
I once talked some chess and non chess words with Pedrag at the Swift Final=
s
in Brussels in 1989 or 1990, and at that moment Pedrag was into the top 25
players of
the world. He is a remarquable person too.

The rating performance of 2494 is also exceptional.
Even if the thinking time is 1/4 of the real time.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if Habu had to play the same opponents in
a normal 40 moves game in 2 hours, I think he could achieve a better result=
.

PS. I contact you on your shogi.net e-mail address after June the second.
I have very less time free until that date. But I am extremely happy to
exchange some words with you after so many years.
