          In reply to questions regarding yesterday's posting
          about this weekend's shogi events in New York City:

          Mr Tak Nagasaki:
           You are more than welcome to stop by "for a few minutes (or
          a few hours) for free" to watch the games. There is no fee
          for spectators and you do not have to order anything from
          the restaurant. If you wish to play in the tournaments, just
          be at the Hamaya Restaurant by noon on Saturday for
          Saturday's tournament or by 10:00 AM on Sunday for the
          second tournament. There is a small fee for playing in the
          tournaments, about $10 per day.  The New York Shogi Club
          collects this money to cover its expenses for renting this
          facility. We will be on the top floor, above the restaurant
          itself. Registration is at the tournament site.
           We are expecting between 25 and 30 players at this event.
          They will range in strength from about 5-kyu to 5-dan,
          amateur.
           Are you aware that there is a very good shogi club that
          meets regularly in New York? This is a great opportunity
          to meet them.

          Mr Georgio Verde:
