There will be a Saturday meeting of the London Shogi Club on 28.11.2015. Steven Cain will be getting there between 11am and 11.30am, and there should be someone around until at least 2pm at Caffe Nero, 10 Bedford Street, London WC2E 7HE.
Everyone is very welcome, regardless of strength or experience.
The nearest rail station is Charing Cross. Embankment, Covent Garden and Leicester Square underground stations are close, but it's best to check which lines are running with Transport for London.
If you want to confirm attendance, feel free to let us know by leaving a comment or sending an email.
At the moment there are no plans for a December meeting - most players will be busy or away during the holiday break. Caffe Nero is also very crowded during the Christmas season. But if players are interested, let us know and we'll see if we can arrange something.
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.
