Malmo Open

Never before, there has been a Swedish international shogi tournament =
closer to continental Europe! Malmo is the third biggest city in=20
Sweden, just recently connected with a bridge between two countries to =
the Danish capital Copenhagen. The bridge will be opened to
public car and train traffic next year. The Swedish Shogi Federation has =
a clear ambition of filling the white spots of the European shogi =
community map.=20
This tournament in Malmo provides you with opponents on all levels, the =
possibility of staying one night (Saturday to Sunday) free in the
tournament site at Vasagatan 9E (bring a sleeping bag and tell about it =
at the registration!), and a friendly shogi atmosphere with nice=20
restaurants within one minute walking distance and enough time to eat =
since three hours are provided for each round in the tournament.

Saturday-Sunday, October 2-3, there will be an international shogi =
tournament in Malmo in southern Sweden.=20
The earlier Swedish international shogi tournaments in Goteborg and =
Stockholm in 1998 were the start of the shogi clubs
with regular meetings at those two cities. It is our sincere hope that =
Malmo Open will be the start of regular shogi meetings in the
Malmo-Copenhagen region. Except for players from Sweden, Norway and =
Denmark, we expect playing guests from Russia,
England, and the rest of Europe.
