From: Grienenberger Denis BSCCGATE SANDOZ COM> Date: 26 jun 1995 Subject: New Member Hello Every Shogi Player... My name is Denis GRIENENBERGER. I just connected to this wonderful network and I'm very pleased to meet some people who are playing Shogi in this Discussion List. I discover this enjoyable game in Mulhouse's University (France, south of Alsace). and play it since this year. And now, we are about 30 in our club to play Shogi 3 times a month. Some members of our Club had a first contact with a turnament in 1994. It was the first time they've played with japanese pieces in the French Tournament of Paris. In Oct 1994, our club was invited to take part to the Ryu-O-Sen, opening the Shogi international finale that occured for the first time in Paris. We have met Mr Habu and Mr Sato, speaking about all around Shogi and Japan. In April 1995, we have organized a first international tournament in Colmar... the first one, but not the last. A good experience. Next year, in september, we will organize another one (also in Colmar). So, I hope this mailing list will help me to find out some new Shogi friends. All the Best, Denis Grienenberger Here is the snail address of the President of our Shogi Club : Alain ARNOULD 11, rue des Perdrix 68 680 KEMBS-LOECHLE FRANCE Fax : (FRANCE) 89.68.31.02
