From: Eric Cheymol FREE FR> Date: 30 apr 2002 Subject: Habu in Paris again ! Yoshiharu likes Paris ! After his perfect chess tournament last year (achieving a 2455 fide performance in the Saint Quentin en Yvelines chess tournament), Yoshiharu Habu will be in Paris from the 10 may to the 23 may. The main part of his stay is not official yet, so I need to wait a couple of days for the official announcement by Joel Lautier ! The second part concerns shogi as Yoshiharu Habu will play simultaneously against amateur players. This event will be in Paris in the afternoon of the wednesday 22 may. Unfortunately, this will be in the middle of the week. Anyway, if you are in Paris at this time, don't miss the chance to play against the strongest shogi pro at this time. This will be the first time that Habu will give a simul in France, in Europe (and perhaps in the west ?). The place of the simul is not chosen at this time. There are actually 2-3 possibilities. I will inform you as soon as I get more informations. I remind you that two pros are actually in Colmar, France until the 2nd may : Toshio Miyata, 7 Dan and Tamura, 5 Dan. This gives many possibilities to improve. Best shogi wishes, Eric Cheymol ---------------- Get the European shogi archives at http://www.shogi.fr.st
