This page contains reports and links about all tournaments I had the chance to play in Japan.

The First International Shogi Forum (17-21 june 1999)
The Second International Shogi Forum (17-21 october 2002)
Read my trip in Japan.
The First International Shogi Forum has just finished. What a big event this was ! Really amazing, think about all the best in the same place : Sato, Tanigawa, Habu, Nakahara, Yonenaga, Fujii, Moriuchi, Aono, Harada, Ono Yaichio and many others (I don't remember all the names). So many pros at the same time. All were very talkative, it was even difficult to take some time to eat : I talked with really a lot of people in this opening ceremony, meeting old friends. But remember one thing : take your name cards with you. Matt forgot them but he didn't forget to play perfectly ! I did the contrary :-))

The Second International Shogi Forum was a great event. In the same time of the individual and team amateur tournament, you could attend quick games between the best shogi professionnals, play simul games against pros, see a computer shogi tournament, and finally attend a chess simul ! Read everything about those events here !
