From: Hiroki Kawada MERL HITACHI CO JP> Date: 22 apr 1996 Subject: Shogi events in Atlanta Hi, shogi fans in USA, The schedule of shogi events in Lady's Ohsho title match in Atlanta became clearer. The information is from Mr. Akatsuka who is in charge of organizing the events. Place: Japanese Restaurant Nakatoh 1776 Cheshire Bridge Road Atlanta Georgia 30324 Tel. voice 404-873-6582 Date: May 7, 19:00 - 21:00, Ceremony and party. No fee is required. Multi-games for attendants by professional players, Ohouchi 9-dan and/or Sekine lady's pro, are expected. They take five shogi sets from Japan. (I don't know if they use more shogi sets when they see a number of enthusiastic American shogi fans having a shogi set in their hands. ;-) ) May 8, 13:00 - end of the game, Simultaneous comments on the title match game. Translation from Japanese to English is not surely planned yet. Mr. Akatsuka told he will have to ask translation if English speaking audiences are many. Multi-games by pros for attendants are planned. He promised to give me more information later because he is now working on organizing the events.
