Subject: Report from Summer Shogi in Goteborg

Dear shogi friends,

This Saturday the tournament "Summer Shogi" was played outside, at the
restaurant Villa Belparc located in the beautiful park Slottsskogen in
Goteborg. A blue sky and a perfect temperature of 25 degrees Celcius made
the playing conditions outstanding.

Of the eleven participants, not less than three players made their first
appearance on the shogi scene. These players where Per More, Anders
Gustavsson and Laura Thackray who all showed being talented beginners. This
by rapidly increasing their strength during the tournament. Per even managed
to score 2 points on the 4 rounds to win the price for the best player
ranked below 10 kyu.

Fighting for the top places where Mikael Jansson, Jonas Ahlqvist, Anders
Vidal and me. All players who lately have shown good form in the Swedish
championships for teams. It turned out to be Mikael Janssons unlucky day
since he failed to win a medal with slightest possible margin; one
cumulative point.
Jonas Ahlqvist won the bronze medal instead and he also won the prize for
being the best 6 - 10 kyu player. After a though final game Anders Vidal had
to content himself with the silver medal since he lost the game and the gold
medal to me.

Goteborgs Shogi Society would like to thank all the participants for their
interest and welcome all of you to the next years competition.

Regards

Carl Johan Nilsson
