Subject: shogi around Atlanda and Washington

Hi all,
The following is a mail from Mr. Yamada.  Those who have any infos, please
reply directly to his email address.



Hi all shogi fans especially in Amirica,

   In recent years, a few professional title matches are played at outside
of Japan. The Lady Osho Ms. Nakai will play challenger Ms. Shimizu for
the title at Atlanta this May. This is the first game for lady professionals
played abroad.

   I will go to Atlanta to watch the game on a tour agency plan. Tour
attenders will see the sights of Olympic Atlanta for two days before the
match, but we have free time after it. So I would like to see some local
shogi players in America. If there are shogi meetings or clubs near Atlanta
I want to visit there and play shogi, though I am a "weak" shodan(1-dan).
Please share infomations with me if you have any.

   I also plan to go to Washington after the title match, so any
infos around there are also appreciated.

   Thank you and regards,
   Teiichi Yamada from Tokyo.  (YAMADA_TEIICHI @TANDEM.COM)
