Its price is not announced but I've found the retail and discount prices are 13,440 and 9,899 yen (w/tax), respectively at an Internet shop. http://www.murauchi.com/MCJ-front-web/CoD/0000011133148/forwardKey%5B0%5D=cart/forwardKey%5B1%5D=wishList/forwardKey%5B2%5D=compareMyPage/forwardKey%5B3%5D=compareCatalog/forwardName%5B0%5D=COMMODITY_LIST/forwardName%5B1%5D=COMMODITY_LIST/forwardName%5B2%5D=COMMODITY_LIST/forwardName%5B3%5D=COMMODITY_LIST/ (in Japanese) Cf.

Interesting! Do you know whether this is a development of the KCC Igo engine by the same team? Or have they given up and replaced their classical engine entirely? Any plans for translated versions for the international market?
A political question: if it is the same team, regardless of engine, would it still be blacklisted from tournaments?
