Steve Campbell is running an 'all-comers (veterans particularly welcome)' one-day shogi event in Birchington, Kent. It will be held on Saturday, June 6th, at the Seaview Hotel, which is less than ten minutes' walk from Birchington railway station. Some accommodation is available at the Seaview Hotel (CT7 9RA, landline 01843-841-660).
The exact format will be determined later, but current plans are to have 3 rounds, starting at about 10am.
If you want to enter the tournament or make enquiries, please send an email to Shogi London or post a message on the Shogi London facebook page and we will provide Steve's contact details.
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.
