To avoid any potential confusion I better just point out that I won the
European Championship in 1988, not 1998 as Pieter said.  Don't want to
steal any of Boris's thunder there :-) (as they say - anyway, he could
find that painful)

Great! You will have some tough competition awaiting you, though. The
British have started manning their defence walls and have engaged some
fearful warriors: Stephen Lamb (4 dan, European Champion in 1998 and
1991), Tony Hosking (3 dan, author of excellent shogi books), Les
Blackstock (3 dan, two time EC runner up) and Kikuyu Higasa (2 kyu).
