TEAM MATCH / QUICK PLAY DOUBLE EVENT
====================================
On MAY 30 and 31, 1992 the famous "double event" takes place in Utrecht,
Netherlands. It consists of a team match with handicaps on Saturday and a
quick play tournament on Sunday. Teams can be assembled on the spot and
everybody who is present can play. You can take part in one tournament but
not the other if you like. Personally, I like the event very much and I will
definitely go, and so will many other people from Germany, Holland, Belgium
etc. Please contact the organizer Marc Theeuwen <marct <at> mbfys <dot> kun <dot> nl> soon for
more information and/or hotel reservation. Since 28 May (Ascension Day) is a
holiday for many people, one may combine playing in the tournament(s) with a
visit to Amsterdam, Utrecht or other places to sniff some culture and enjoy
the night life.
 
SHOGI WORKSHOP
===============
Another very interesting event will be organized soon. On JUNE 20 and 21 a
Shogi Workshop will take place at EMBL. On Saturday 20 we will have lectures
for beginners and advanced players covering various Shogi-related topics,
Japanese Shogi-videos with translations in English, group sessions to discuss
Shogi-technical matters like openings, shape, mating, and as top of the bill
JAPANESE FOOD. The Sunday will be devoted to quick-play Shogi and generally
having fun. Please mark these dates in your diary as well. Free overnight
accommodation will be provided on a first come, first served basis. It is
possible for players to stay longer or come earlier in order to spend a short
holiday in the Heidelberg area. Please contact the organizers Alan Sawyer
<sawyer <at> embl-heidelberg <dot> de> or John Kenney <kenney <at> embl-heidelberg <dot> de>
directly for more information.
