Hey,
Sorry that I haven't been updating this blog for a long time. Internship has really kept me busy and I haven't been able to spend some time with Shogi. ='(
Without concentrating on Shogi for the past few weeks (although I did read the lastest professional players' kifus everyday), I have been using these times to reflect on myself regarding my skills in Shogi.
It has been more than half a year since I've said that I'm going to achieve 2-dan strength within this year. I strongly believe that I have improved alot since the beginning of the year, making me a more stable 1-dan player. Now I am able to solve Tsume-Shogi without the use of equipments and programs.
Because of Shogi, my level of concentration has improve drastically that I was able to focus on a specific task without being distracted. With my current level of concentration, I was able to spend more time to search for the best move in Shogi. I have always hope that I could spend more time for a move because I would want to play a Shogi game with 8 hours thinking time per player. I feel excited if I could play a 2-day Shogi game, just like a professional match!
Whenever I don't have any Shogi books with me, I would thought up a Shogi scenario and try to experiment a few moves in my 'mind'.
It has been seven months, and I still feel that I am a weak Shogi player. Am I able to achieve 2-dan this year, and show people my strength who have high expectations for me?
There is only a week left for my attachment. I really hope I can start spending more time on Shogi as soon as my attachment is over.
Nevertheless, my love for Shogi will be always.
Regards,
Ryou Takehito

Hey,
Are you familiar with the Weiqi players in Japan Club? Since I do not know you well, I cannot help you buy Shogi sets because I don't know whether you will pay me back or not.
If you really want me to help you buy Shogi sets, please talk to either Zaid, Alex or Xinwen to 'vouch' (or identify) for you so I can feel secured about buying Shogi sets for you from Japan. Ask them to send me an e-mail or message telling me that you will pay me back the money, or else they will have to pay for your share if you fail to do so. I hope you will understand my 'reluctant' to help strangers, especially involving money.
I sincerely apologise if my comment has offended you in any ways.

yo there, I am a shogi player too. I include myself in shogi world about half year ago. Currently I am the treasurer of my university chess club. I had decided that in this one year academic year from June, I want to promote the shogi in my University. I had just bought for the chess club few sets of shogi. The shogi set i bought maybe only 7 sets total in Malaysia. Anyway, check out my blogspot for the shogi condition in my university. See you soon.
