Re: New Publication of Shikatsu Myoki, Sample Pages?

Fortunately you don't have to wonder; here are two such Asian versions of the Shikatsu Myoki.
Unfortunately no, i still have to wonder. You see they aren't in English, which is the whole purpose of a translation in first place. Your expectations of comparing a close to verbatim translation to ...

ez4u was the first one to answer.

Well yes, with a line that Logan could have read from one of his own links that he posted.

Re: New Publication of Shikatsu Myoki, Sample Pages?

Logan's question could have been answered by other people who had purchased the book via SmartGo. There's no need to send a private message to the author.
It "could have been" but evidently that didn't happen. Asking someone in direct relation to the publication would have been a much smarter ...

Re: New Publication of Shikatsu Myoki, Sample Pages?

First you wondered why logan didn't get the book and check it himself.

Where did i say that i wondered why? Honestly, i couldn't give a flying expletive why he hasn't obtained the book.

I thought that i clearly stated, that i don't understand why he felt the need to critique a book he hasn't ...

Re: New Publication of Shikatsu Myoki, Sample Pages?

I may not be able to afford space flight, but i am not about to start critiquing Virgin Galactic's service in any way. Nor would i hold a grudge towards Virgin for not catering to the confines of what i can afford within my lifestyle.

My point being that this isn't a question of affordability or ...

Re: New Publication of Shikatsu Myoki, Sample Pages?

Well i agree with John. It came across as kind of snide to me, followed by a helping of arrogance.

If Logan feels the need to criticize the book, he can at least read it first. I think such comments as

There's simply a better version of this book waiting to be published.

are audacious to say ...

You are still basing your comparison on a position where Black plays last.

Actually the standard variation normally has one more move?
