|
| Apr-27-12 | | Nightsurfer: In case that you would ask why all that fuzz about SHOGI?! Just have a look at a very entertaining feature that the German-language program of <MTV>!! has aired on that great Japanese version of Chess, please turn to the link as follows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9eZ... . And there you will see Rene Gralla play a short game of demonstration against <Daniel "Budi" Budiman>, herewith more information about the latter: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel... , who is a very popular TV-journalist who covers electronic games in <MTV>'s magazine GAME ONE together with his partner <Simon Krätschmer>, herewith more information about <Simon Krätschmer>: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_....

 | | HeMateMe: Well, this is something different. You don't hear much about Japanese chess players. |
|
| Dec-24-12 | | wordfunph: FM Yoshiharu Habu --- the "Garry Kasparov of Shogi"! |
|
| Oct-31-13 | | Zugzwangovich: Shogi news: Moriuchi leads Watanabe 2-0 in the best-of-seven Ryu-O series, which as <ughaibu> points out can be considered to be a world championship. Watanabe's been the winner of this series for the last nine years. |

| Jan-02-14 | | nummerzwei: He's back in the ring, playing currently in the 24th Cracovia Festival in Krakow, Poland. |
|
| Apr-25-14 | | Rookiepawn: A nicer (or more neutral) way of saying "non-Japanese" is "gaikokujin". Regarding Go, it fascinates me because the simplicity of the rules (you can start playing after no more than 10 minutes of explanation) hide an ocean of complexity. Strategically talking it seems to me far more subtle than chess, for it is really hard to know whether you're winning or losing. After a Go game, I see little white and black spots flickering before my eyes... |

| Apr-16-15 | | Catholic Bishop: This guy may be the most naturally gifted intellectual game player of all time, considering his stature as possibly the strongest Shogi player in history, a 2400 fide rating in chess, as well as being amateur 2 dan in Go. |

|
| Apr-16-15 | | Catholic Bishop: <keypusher: Sounds like he just can't concentrate.>
Why would he need to? He's been earning an average of around a million USD a year from 1993 to this year from Shogi alone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshih... He's married to a popular Japanese actress, has enough free time to dabble in chess, even occasionally making GMs look like patzers from those Paul Morphy games. I'd say concentration is not something he's mightily concerned with. |

| Feb-11-23 | | Zugzwangovich: Trying for his 100th career title at age 52, Habu yesterday conjured up a scintillating attack to upend Sota Fujii, the greatest heavyweight going today, and tie their best-of-seven Osho title match at 2-2. Fujii's only 20 but for the last few years has been kicking butts left and right a la Tal in his early 20s. |

| | HeMateMe: Wasn't the Yoshiharu the 'unwinnable' test that prospective Starfleet captains are put through, in the training academy in Star Trek? |
|

 | | beatgiant: <HeMateMe>Kobayashi Maru. So you got the language, number of syllables, and last vowel right. Still, I highly doubt classmates in school teased Yoshiharu as the impossible test kid. This is probably better than the time you mistook an Australian flag for a British one. Bravo.... |

| | HeMateMe: I have never mistaken the Australian flag and Brit union jack, only the accents. G'day. |
|
Feb-11-23
| | beatgiant: <HeMateMe> See Kibitzer's Café (kibitz #280585), where you posted
<I found a British themed chess T-shirt!> but the picture in the link was a rook with Australian flags and "Check, Mate!" but I grant you were probably just having a lark. |
|
Feb-11-23
| | HeMateMe: Never take me too seriously... |
|
Feb-11-23
| | beatgiant: <HeMateMe> I was trying to be unserious, but sometimes it doesn't come out right on the web. Something like... an impossible test. |
