From: Eric Cheymol FREE FR> Date: 8 may 2002 Subject: Habu's shogi simul in Paris on the 22 may, 13h30 Dear shogi players, All details are fixed now ! Yoshiharu Habu will give a simul over 10 boards, this big shogi event will be in Paris. Date : wednesday 22 may between 13h30 and 16h00 Place : honour room of the culture service of the Ambassy of Japan, 7 rue de Tilsitt, 75017 Paris, Métro/RER Charles de Gaulle Etoile. If you are soon defeated by Habu's magic moves over the board, you can still benefit of the perfect view of the Arc de Triomphe from the playing place :-) The simul ends around 16h00 as Yoshiharu Habu returns to Japan the same evening. Again, if you are in Paris at this time, don't miss the chance to play against the strongest shogi pro at this time. I was mistaken in my first mail some days ago : Habu already gave a simul in the west. This was in Paris too : he gave a simul (6 boards) in the Nikko hotel the day before of the first game of the Ryu-O sen in october 1994. He won this first game against Yasumitsu Sato, go to Reijer's Page to replay the game ! If you intend to play in the simul, please send me a mail first. I would like to get an idea of the number of players. Hope to see you there, Eric ---------------- Get the European shogi archives at http://www.shogi.fr.st
