Shotest Shogi

This is a posting to say that my computer programme "Shotest Shogi", which has competed in the CSA event since 1997, now has its first ever dedicated web page. (Previously Shotest has featured on our main web and in our quarterly publication).

www.shotestshogi.co.uk

This focussed page collects together the 15 articles from the quarterly written on Shotest and related tree-search and evaluation articles.

Although this program has been previously available commercially in Japan, for the first time this is now available in an English language PC version for the west.

Thank you for this update Jeff
Pour ceux qui ne comprennent pas l'anglais, Jeff parle ici de la publication d'une version en anglais pour XBox360 et PC du jeu Shotest qui est l'un des meilleurs softs de Shogi actuellement existant.
Non seulement le niveau du jeu est reconnu pour être bon mais en plus l'interface est particulièrement soignée et il possède des options additionnelles intéressantes genre Tsume, tutoriel et parties à handicap.
A noter que le site qui vend ce jeu propose aussi du matériel, dont des pièces plastiques.
Quand au prix, compter une quarantaine d'Euros.

Any idea bout the skill level of the game's AI ?

Cool!

When will the tutorials and puzzles be added to the PC version?

(it's a pity that there's no online play in the PC version )

I haven't seen if it's ok with windows xp ?
