Shogi London Supplement

An extra website Shogi London Supplement has been set up to provide information on London, UK and other shogi which doesn't necessarily count as news.

At the moment, most of the material reflects similar articles on Shogi London, but the intention is that Shogi London Supplement will merge information from new articles and reflect the most up to date position.

Eventually it will contain material and links for beginners, rather than assuming readers already know all this. The first piece of new content is a more detailed report on the 2008 British Open Shogi Championships than provided in Shogi London.

May 2008 meeting

There will be only one Saturday meeting of the London Shogi Club on 31.05.2008. David Faldon will be around from 10am until at least 2pm at Caffe Nero, 10 Bedford Street, London WC2E 7HE. [map]

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.

2008 British Shogi Championship results

The battle for the kyu championship was won by Kingsley Pratt. As reward for their efforts, Tony and Kingsley will be attending the International Shogi Festival in Tendo in November 2008.

Help Wanted (AI Shogi)

I've been given a copy of A.I. Toudai Shogi for the Nintendo DS.

It's great fun, and quite strong once I worked out how to take it off beginner level. However, I don't understand all of the menus, which are, well, in Japanese. Maybe I'll bring it along to the next London meeting to see if anyone understands it better.

Now if only I had a Nintendo DS :)
