I have been very busy and away at the European Shogi Championship, so didn't notice this until late, but...
it looks as if there is an opportunity to play Shogi at the Mind Sports Olympiad (as well as many other games including Go, Othello, Chinese Chess, Entropy and Lines of Action).
This is being held from 21-29 August at JW3 on London's Finchley Road. The Shogi event is planned for the afternoon of Wednesday 24th August starting at 2.15 pm.
See the MSO website for 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.
