Subject: UPDATE: European/Worldwide Open Championship 2002

Hello Shogi fans,

The European/Worldwide Open Championship will be quite an exciting event.
Already 53 players from 10 countries have confirmed their participation in
the European/Worldwide Open Championship. Among them are several former
European Champions. Check out the list at:

<http://www.shogi.net/esc2002/participants/>

If you want to take advantage of our special offer (125 Euro for 3 days full
board plus free participation in the Championship, free coffee and tea, and
free internet access), you have to register with your national organization
or with the ESC/WOSC 2002 registrations secretary by Sunday 4 August at the
latest. For details, refer to:

<http://www.shogi.net/esc2002/#reg>

Since we must inform the venue shortly after the 4 August deadline how many
people will come, we cannot guarantee that we are in a position to offer
meals and accommodation after that date!

Brussels is also great for sightseeing, so why not have a fantastic vacation
in Belgium and play some exciting Shogi to top it all of?

Hope to see you all in Brussels in August,

Pieter Stouten
(on behalf of the ESC/WOSC 2002 Organizing Committee)
