I would like to recommend the readers of Windows users to read the following thread of BCM shogi.
In case you have played a game on playok or shogidojo 24, you can save the game to your hard disk, open it in BCM and let the engine do the analysis for you. It’s absolutely amazing what it finds out. By the way, in order to load playok files you have to save the .txt files and then change the file ending (e.g. to esn) as you won’t be able to load the txt file directly. So when your original file was named “game.txt”, changing the name to “game.esn” will allow you to open the file in BCM. For shogi club 24, you first have to copy the game notation and save it with the help of an editor (unicode). After changing the file ending to kif you should be able to load these games, too.
Some minor correction about the file endings posted to the comment field of this entry by rick7. I'm copying and pasting it below.(added on Dec. 17)
Hi Takodori, thanks for the link. Just one little correction:
I originally wrote that the file endings should be changed to esn in order to replay playok games. This actually works but I was told that psn is the correct choice, so "game.txt" should be changed to "game.psn" instead of "game.esn".
