No December 2019 meeting
The London Shogi Club does not meet in December because most people are away, and Caffe Nero is rather full of shoppers.
However, if you are in London over the Christmas break and want to play some shogi, you can email Shogi London or contact us on Facebook and we will see if there are other players who would be interested in meeting up.

2019 British Shogi Championship - more details.
As previously announced, this tournament will take place next weekend on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th November.
The overall Open Championship is open to all. There will also be a British Closed Champion title for entrants who qualify as UK nationals. This will be decided by pairing the qualified players against each other in a knockout format during the first three rounds.
All entrants will play in each round, unless there are an odd number of players. If there are an odd number of players then the bye will go to the lowest ranked player who hasn't already had a bye. Nobody will get more than one bye.
We will plan to start play at 10.30 on Saturday, and players should aim to arrive before this in order to allow time for the first round pairings to be made. If players are delayed, they should contact Steven Cain to warn him so that they can still be included in the first round draw.
