YAMAGUCHI NEW MEIJIN
Makoto Yamaguchi is the new Meijin of Japan!!
He won against Kazuto Hasegawa with the score 3:1.
In the last game, November 3, Yamaguchi played his favorite opening
i3 as white, and managed to defend quite easily, and won later.
Before the match, Nakamura had given up his right to play. We do not
know much for now, except I was told that "he does not want to play".
Mr. Yamaguchi was no2 in the World Championship in 1991. You can know
more about this from www.renju.net/rif/ if you check the link World
Championship.
It is interesting to see how much fighting spirit and strength can
Yamaguchi show after being away from renju over 8 years.
The live broadcast from www.renjusha.net was a failure this year.
They could not make a proper live show. The moves appeared with large
groups after long delay, and when the game was over around 60 moves
(as I was told), the website was still showing 35th move. Besides,
previous 3 games are totally absent from website, Japanese visitors
complained. Hopefully webmaster will put them back later.

This regional qualification tournament was arranged by the founder of the Swedish association Bertil Bokelius in Waexjoe, close to the place Orrefors where Jorma lived. Every match included 6 games. I had good success meeting the other players but in the final against Jorma I was leading with 3-0 but at last it became 3-3. We were both qualified for the Swedish Championship (November 1978) for the first time. I became no 3 and Jorma no 13. After that we met each other in many regional and national competions and we used to be the players qualified from our region (called Smaaland). In Swedish Championship 1979 Jorma was no 3 and 1980 he was no 4. Jorma was the best player in an international match 1980 (Sweden - Denmark 13-5). Before this match the matches Sweden-Denmark had been very even. (Former results: 1978 Sweden - Denmark 17-15, 1979: Sweden - Denmark 16-16.) Jorma was one of the five players that took part in the 1st Swedish Championship of Renju January, 17 1981. He was no 4. Then both Jorma and I was very active in Swedish Championships of Renju 1981-1988 as you can see on the following address: http://renju.nu/maraton/renjusm.htm (In this table 10 means no 1, 9 means no 2 and so on) In the first International tournament: Swedish International Championship of Renju in December 1982 Jorma was the only Swedish player to have a good result against Kosho Hayakawa. Their game became a draw. You can find a picture on this address: http://renju.nu/images/05swop92.gif Tommy Maltell

However, the players that fought for the places 9-18 joined a Round-Robin tournament. Not surprisingly, Ants Soosorv won this competition. The best Swedish players seemed to be a little out of shape this time, so logically the fourth rated Swdeish, Martin Carlsson met Soosorv in the final.

_____________________________________________________________________ Renju Newsletter No 36, 2002-09-02 Highlights - ONLINE GAME SERVER GAMBLER.RU _____________________________________________________________________ ONLINE GAME SERVER GAMBLER.RU (from Yahoo Renju Players Club) Hello dear friends! In the beginning brief deviation: I hope, that this information, which I would like to share with you, it will be interesting and useful to you. I do not pursue any commercial benefit from it and it is not connected in any way to authors of the project of game server Gambler. It is not commercial of the given server. I only want to make the information on a server accessible to you, who does not know about it anything yet (as well as I one week ago), and, certainly, I wish to expand a circle of participants of a server on game Renju. So, I would like to acquaint you with very interesting and useful to fans of logic games by an internet-site and also to invite you to play on-line games and to participate in on-line tournaments. The address: http://www.gambler.ru For renju: http://renju.gambler.ru The Internet-client program is made very convenient for users and easily allows to be connected to users working as directly, and as well as working through a proxy-server from the workstation. The Gambler (game server) has extremely rich, convenient and useful to players functional filling. Come and be convinced in it! Especially I want to emphasize a number of the interesting moments for fans of games Renju (both classical, and free) and Gomoku: the Server supports the following regulations Renju: - classical Renju without the regulations and with the regulations accepted by the Renju International Federation (RIF); - free Renju with central forbidden square 5x5 without the rules, and also with regulations with change of color after 3-rd move. Among visitors of the Gambler game server there are such strong Renju players known to me as: Alexander Klimashin (S-Petersburg), Sergey Artem'ev (S-Petersburg), Konstantin Vodolazsky (S-Petersburg), Kireev (N.Novgorod), El'dar Dzaynukov (Baku), Oleg Stepanov (a planet the Earth), Michael Birjukov, Sergey Masljaev, Sergey Zanchenko, Nikolay Karpenko (Moscow), Michael Sobolev (Samara), Sergey Fedotov (Krasnoyarsk), Alexey Potapov (Komsomolsk), Dmitry Epifanov (Moscow), and so on. I ask to excuse me if someone will not find itself in the list. Simply I have not had time to investigate the list of participants on time, it is huge really. Every each week on-line tournaments on Renju and Gomoku will be carried out. Toss-ups, calculation of results and the other kitchen accompanying each tournament is carried out automatically, that it is very convenient for participants and saves their time. The next tournament is held September, 3, 2002 at 18:30 Moscow time on Renju. The control of time of 10 minutes to the participant on each party game. All interested persons are invited.

Compare with VCF solver, the VCT solver is much more complicated. and also it's difficult for me to check the errors of the program. By now(04/16/02) it could solve all the 1 Dan problems packed with the solver. But it is far from complete. I will correct the errors and also improve the speed of the solver later.

_____________________________________________________________________ Renju Newsletter No 12, 2002-03-02 Highlights - ONLINE RENJU CLASS VIRTUAL CLASSROOM _____________________________________________________________________ ONLINE RENJU CLASS VIRTUAL CLASSROOM We are so happy to announce that our Online Renju Class has made one big step forward and is now completely independent from the services of other servers. We have now opened our own Virtual Classroom, where students can study renju every Thursday in realtime. It is a specially customized system that is perfect for our needs - it includes the teaching tools, membership system, communication (chat, wshipers), scrolling board, open, save (saved file readable with Renlib), DND, and lots of other functions. Students have a special option to analyze the moves on their screen during the lesson. That way they do not need to keep the real renju board beside them and they can give full attention on screen which increases the activity of participation. All the students participation checkings are automated, and in the end of the lesson the system will report which students earned credit points for the lesson. The Virtual Classroom can be downloaded from www.renjuclass.com website, under Classroom link. This system was programmed by our Renjuclass member Wenzhe Lu. He did an excellent job. Even more than I had written in the system model description. Our big thanks to him!! Also, thanks to span and longj for being so helpful in testing and debugging the server! Our next scheduled plan is to open the big renju server for online games, which supports all possible ways of access - client program, email and web access. It will also have the multilanguage support (realtime chat translator), and robot renju player. The leader of programmers team of this project is Farmer Lu from Renjuclass. This new server will be fully capable to host the email WC and any other tournaments in the future, by offerning people the email access similar to pbmserv as well as graphic client program. As for web based functions, we will unite the currently existing Play Games Server at Renjuclass with our new server. Although the new server will be combined with Renjuclass systems, I will use the domain name renju.net to be the URL of the new server once its ready. According to Farmer's prognosis, the server will be ready in 3 months. Such a wonderful opportunity for all of us! Lets's wait and see! All the suggestions are welcome! Especially, early suggestions may be more useful for us! Ando Meritee E-mail: ando@renju.net

I'd like to ask you to include a link my site as well. The site is available at http://www.kurnik.pl/ and there are usually more online players than at the Cronix site. Moreover, it is much simpler (has no redundant graphics, etc.) Thanks. Marek _____________________________________________________________________ NEW SWEDISH SITE There is a new swedish game site ( tv4.se ) http://www.tv4.se/nav_innehall.asp?nav=3&innehall=/spel/spel.asp where you can play games such as Go-moku (sw. Luffarschack), Othello, Chess (sw. Schack), Yatzy and others. There are tournaments in Othello. This site is under development. Currently the board size for Go-moku is too small, but it will be increased later on. _____________________________________________________________________ SWEDISH RATING SITE MOVED The site has moved to http://w1.611.telia.com/~u61103681/SLSFs_Rankingkommitte.html and is updated with latest tournaments.
_____________________________________________________________________ Renju Newsletter No 1, 2002-01-06 Highlights - NAKAMURA WON!! _____________________________________________________________________ NAKAMURA WON!! - By Ando Meritee The 39th Meijin Match is over. Shigeru Nakamura won the Match against Kazuto Hasegawa with the score 2.5 - 0.5. Excellent play by Nakamura! He remains the best, unbeatable!! The last game was played earlier today, beginning at 10am Japan time. The game record is here:
Nakamura was white. The opening variant surprised me. I expected Hasegawa to play more aggressive in order to stop Nakamura from winning the match. I do not know exactly what was Hasegawa's plan, but from what I see from the moves they played, Hasegawa seemed to have no preparation for this opening. Moves 1-18 are typical theory. White advantage has been proved here. Moves 19 and 21 tried to lead to positional style, but it does not work here because black does not have enough structures to keep it up. By the 27th move black has lost control over the position already. By the 36th move Nakamura took over the attack. From that point, Hasegawa began to fight well, and made several good defense moves. However, Nakamura was careful, and avoided careless attack. He tried to balance lower side instead, and used upper side material to connect with left side space. Although Hasegawa defended well, there was nothing to do stop white going to upper side. Move 62 - preparing lines and space. Move 68 - amazing move! Definitely the most beautiful move in whole match! White was attacking two different overlines at the same time. Black could block only against one of them. The game ended after 72nd move, catching overline! Great Nakamura! I admire the way he plays renju! Thanks to both Nakamura and Hasegawa for these wonderful games! Congratulations to Nakamura for defending the Meijin title with excellent score!
