[Hirokaz ONODA]

Hi,

I received a game from Satoru Hayakawa, who is a fellow running member of
the Japan Correspondence Chess Assocciation.
 1. Pc2-c4   Pd7-d5     2. Cb1-c3   Re8-d7     3. Dd1-a4   Rd7-d6    
 4. Pb2-b3   Pa7-a6     5. Da4xa6   Rd6-c5     6. Da6-f6   Rc5-b4    
 7. Fc1-a3   Rb4xa3     8. Pd2-d3   Ra3-b2     9. Re1-d2   Ta8-a3    
10. Cc3-d1   
double checkmate

and this is mine.
 1. Pe2-e3   Pd7-d6     2. Dd1-f3   Re8-d7     3. Df3-c6   Rd7-e6    
 4. Cg1-f3   Re6-f5     5. Pg2-g4   Rf5xg4     6. Ff1-h3   Rg4xh3
