From: Phil Holland HOLLANDNUMERICS DEMON CO UK> Date: 7 may 2000 Subject: 2000 British Open Shogi Championships - Results 2 gloriously sunny days on May 6th and 7th at the Boathouse in Cambridge ended with Tony Hosking (Cornwall) becoming the new British Shogi Champion, with a clean sheet of 6 wins and no defeats! He also qualified as the British Representative at the Shogi World Championships, to be held in New York later this month. We wish him a safe journey and a successful tournament. The international entry produced another competitive, but friendly, tournament, with Guillaume Schmidt travelling from Paris. Alan Baker came top of the local Cambridge entries with 3 win out of 6 games. We hope to be back in Cambridge for the next British Shogi Championships in 2001, but also look out for the Royston and Cambridge Shogi Congress at the Boathouse in Cambridge on September 30th 2000.
