From: Martin Danerud PARTILLE MAIL TELIA COM> Date: 12 apr 1997 Subject: Results of the Swedish Shogi Day Tournament Dear shogi friends, Today the Swedish Shogi Association arranged the Shogi Day at the big central mall "Nordstadstorget" in Goteborg. It was a success. Hundreds of people were introduced to the word "shogi", the game, its history, rules and so on for the first time in their life. Everything was centered around the first shogi tournament ever in Sweden. Fourteen players took part in this tournament. It was played with three rounds and each player had 45 minutes per game.
