Q:
As for successor, a name is listed in some press organizations, but who are you?

I think that it will be in the form of director elections first after I acknowledge my resignation at the executive board of tomorrow, so I think that it is decided by a member of a chess player. However, since he is a representative of the shogi world, I think that it is appropriate to have experience and recognition.

Q:
At the end of the year I planned to continue the president, but I decided to resign. Please tell me the reasons why your idea has changed and the physical and mental disorders as far as it does not hinder them.

Tanikawa:
After having a press conference on 27th December, we got a variety of strict opinions. The reason for my resignation is the poor physical condition. I thought that I was going to feel a little better by taking a rest and during the New Year's holidays, but I began to feel the pressure on the contrary. As to what kind of condition it is private, it is not detailed, but it is not easy to say that the stomach is sharp and painful, there is no appetite, I do not fall asleep, I wake up in the middle of the night from mid-October It is. In addition, the position of the president sometimes greets in various places, but it is also a fact that it became uneasy whether it could talk properly at that time.

I think that this resignation was to quit because it is the president to take responsibility as a shogi federation, or I think that Mr. Tanikawa was in the place to decide Miura Kuzu disposition, but also his thoughts and opinions on this issue Is it that it is linked to responsibility?

Tanikawa:
There is also a thought that if such correspondence is early, such a big problem was not thought, and I feel the responsibility about that point. Moreover, as it became a serious problem, I thought that it might be necessary to make a move and get back and forth as a president.

Q:
Is it because I am in the position as the "president" or because I lack confidence in my thoughts and attitudes about this problem? Does that mean that I want you to take responsibility as a federation by quitting yourself?

Tanikawa:
I think that there are various ways of being received, but I believe that it is best to do this as an organization.
