Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012
Hi everyone,
No matter what we're doing, if we hear this five-letter word beginning with a 'C' mentioned... our ears pop up like a doggy salivating for his bone. Figuratively speaking.

Styczynska first came across shogi four years ago, when she was reading 'Naruto,' a popular Japanese manga comic series that publisher Shueisha Inc. says has been translated into more than 30 languages including English, French and Polish. Read further here.
