     Perhaps you (or someone else) could translate short comments by=20
subscribers to shogi-L to Japanese and submit them all at once for us.
     My own opinion is that any amateur who proves his level by winning two=
=20
top amateur titles should have the option to join the 3 Dan League in the=
=20
Shoreikai, and then have the same chance to promote as the 3 Dan pros do.=
=20
Instead of age rules, they would have to promote within a set number of=20
years.

Hello Shogi Fans,

Japan Shogi Association unveiled in their website that their examination
system committee invites the public to offer their opinion about the curren=
t
system to become a pro and how it should be reformed. If you read Japanese,=

you can offer your opinion through the following page(although I'm not sure=

they are ready to read your opinion written in any other languages than
Japanese);

http://shogi-live.com/pro_test/postmail.html

The deadline is Nov.30 in Japan.

According to JSA, the committee members are as followings;
  Morishita 9 dan
  Waki 8 dan
  Namekata 7 dan
  Hatakeyama(Mamoru) 6 dan
  Sugimoto 6 dan
  Iizuka 6 dan
  Chuza 5 dan
  Ueno 4 dan
  Katagami 4 dan

The committee's proposition will be discussed in the next general pro=20
players'
meeting to be held in May 2006. Since JSA is a corporation aggregate which
consists of pros and ex-pros, it is the highest decision making meeting=20
there.
The voters are limited to pros and ex-pros only, not including lady pros an=
d
shoreikai players.
