Habu writes a letter to Sam Sloan
Habu Yoshiharu is the world's strongest and most famous player of shogi, which is Japanese chess. Habu has won all seven titles simultaneously, the only player in history ever to do so. Not only is he regarded as the best player in shogi, but he is regarded as the smartest person in Japan, with the highest IQ. Books and articles have been written about Habu's Brain, trying to determine why it is so superior to any other brain.
When Habu came to the World Open Chess Championship, held in Philadelphia June 30 to July 4, 2006, Sam Sloan told him about his instructional DVD on shogi which was just coming out. Sam agreed to send it to him.
Today, August 7, 2006, Sam Sloan received a letter from Habu, thanking him for the DVD. However, I cannot read Japanese so I would like somebody to translate it for me.
The Shogi DVD is for sale on Amazon at

Here is the letter. Could somebody please translate it into English?
