Information on the London Shogi Club, shogi events in or near London, and occasional other stuff. Shogi is Japanese chess, and the key way it differs from regular chess is that when you take your opponent pieces, you keep them, and can 'drop' them back on the board later. It's pretty popular in Japan so you often see it in anime and Japanese art, but it's not very well known in the UK.

While players are welcome to attend, we are not able to guarantee that there will be other players or boards. If you do want to come along, we recommend that you bring your own board and pieces, and if possible, contact another player to make sure you have a game.
