If any shogi westerners are going to stay after 10/21, please email me and I
will let you know my number in Japan. I came down with the flu and did not
wish to give it to the other Shogi Forum people and did not attend. I can
see it was a success. Just email me and I can contact you by email or phone.

Regards,
Bob Price /Shodan
