2 day tournament and teaching event on 3-4 May 2025

The London Shogi club is delighted to announce a 2 day tournament and teaching event on 3-4 May 2025, open to players of all abilities and all nationalities. 

Organised by club regulars Steven Cain and Kevin Butchart, this will feature both competitive games and instruction from registered teaching professionals Yasushi Ishikawa and Sanada Tetsuaki, both of whom trained in the Shorekai school for apprentice shogi professionals

The venue will be the London Mindsports Centre. You can register at this dedicated webpage.  

The Saturday itinerary will mainly focus on competitive games. After a lecture from Mr Ishikawa, there will be a 5 round tournament. The format will reflect the number of entries and range of grades, based on the Swiss system with one or more groups.  The time limit will be in accordance with FESA rating requirements.

The Sunday itinerary will be more focused on instruction through lectures, discussion and play, but will also include a short blitz tournament.

The entry fee for the two days will be £25. Attendance for a single day will also be available at a rate of £15.
