From: Tarin Clanuwat STUDENT CHULA AC TH> Date: 24 sep 1999 Subject: Re: Junisen schedule Hello This is the first time that I send e-mail to you all. Let me introduce myself a little bit. I am a Thai girl from Bangkok Thailand who also playing Shogi. I will enter joryuu ikuseikai or pre-professional tournament for female player next March. I am in Thailand right now but I will go to Japan this October. I already got permission from Mr. Futakami Tatsuya the head of Japan Shogi Association to go and study Shogi there. My master is Hiroe Nakai female professional 5 dan. And professional players who teach me Shogi are Kobayashi Kenji 8 dan , Ueyama 6 dan and Ohno Yaichio 6 dan. So I just asked Mr. Ohno about how to pairing in Junisen. He told me that we use computer to random. There is no weight but the players whom already played together last year will not play together again this year. That's all. There is no different between people in Kansai and Kantou. That's only for shoureikai that players in Kantou will play with people in Kantou and Kansai will play in Kansai. Best regards, Tarin
