For details and the registration form, refer to: <http://www.shogi.net/mso2001/shogireg.txt> TORI AND CHU SHOGI CHAMPIONSHIPS -------------------------------- Since Tori and Chu Shogi sets are not some common, we ask any MSO participant who has a Tori and/or Chu Shogi set to bring it along and to inform Edi Werner gmx de> that he can count on using your set(s) for his events. ACCOMMODATION AND EXPENSES -------------------------- The MSO organization is still in the process of identifying affordable lodging. It is also still uncertain how much money will be available to cover prizes and accommodation and travel expenses. However, we recommend that if at all possible players make their flight arrangement in order to be able to secure tickets. All the best, Pieter Stouten (on behalf of the MSO 2001 Shogi Festival Council)
