Dear shogi friends,

Last weekend, the fourth Swedish Team Shogi Championship was played. T= his=20 time a new city, Vasteras, was the host.

For the second time this year, a new record of participants was set in= the=20 tournaments of the Swedish Shogi Federation. In April,

there were 22 participants in the Swedish Championship tournament, and= now=20 we had seven teams and a total of 31 individual

participants in the Swedish Shogi Team Championship, July 30 to 31, 20= 05.=20 Not less than 15 players played their first rating

games. That is a good sign for the future. It was also hopeful to see = that=20 several of the new as well as the more experienced players

develop continously.

Round=20 1

Goteborg 1 -=20 Trollhattan          &nbs= p;        4-0

&nbs= p;=20 Peder Gedda - Jakob=20 Fjellander          =20 1-0
Hakan Lonnqvist - Roger=20 Andersson        0-1

Vaster=E5s= =20 had a bye (3 points).

The Swedish team champions of= all=20 times started somewhat badly. The match against Trollhattan could have ende= d 1-3=20 instead of

4-0. On the three top boards it was initially shaky for the Goteborg= =20 players. However, everyone came back and won their games. On

the two top boards there was even tsume shogi in the end.

In the match against Stockholm, Arash Rouhani from the new club Kungsa= ngen=20 presented himself from start by beating the ESC

player Jan Rabe. Arash, who won the beginner tournament of shogi at th= e=20 Swedish Chess Championship this summer, is one of the

biggest shogi talents who has ever emerged in Sweden. Already in 2006 = he is=20 a strong candidate to win the Swedish Junior

Championship.

In Goteborg 2, all players with experience of rating games won.

Round 2

Arash Ro= uhani=20 - Andreas Lofberg         &nbs= p;=20 1-0
Henrik Haapala - Jakob=20 Fjellander         1-0
w.= o. -=20 Roger=20 Andersson           =          0-1

Trollhatta= n=20 had a bye (3 points).

With the Swiss system (since we fo= r the=20 first time had more than six teams) the final match was played already in r= ound=20 2.

The top boards displayed good shogi games and tough fights. The first = board=20 was a replay of the Swedish Championship Final of

2005. Carl Johan got his revenge in a counter attack against Christer= =B4s=20 king who had had its retreat paths blocked by his own

pieces. The second board was a replay of the Swedish Championship Fina= l of=20 2003. Martin initially seemed to get the better

position with the two rooks after a natural looking bishop sacrifice.= =20 However, Thore played very well with the bishops, and when

Martin chose a completely wrong way to escape with his king, he had= =20 to accept his first ever lost game in the Swedish Shogi Team

Championship in this, the only pure dan game this year. Jan and Jonas = won=20 their games, but Palmgren was in big trouble against

Rabe. Now, Goteborg 1 had a good position to defend their title.

Goteborg 2 shared the lead after winning convincingly against Vasteras= .=20

Kungsangen continued to fight well with three players. All of them=20 won.

Round 3

Goteborg 1 - Goteborg=20 2            &n= bsp;         3-1

w.o. - Emil=20 Isberg           &nb= sp;            = 0-1

Vastmanland=20 had a bye (3 points).

Goteborg 1 won the club derby= =20 easily. One of the biggest sensations of the tournament occurred on the thi= rd=20 board, where Peder

won against Jan in a game that should have resulted in jishogi. Peder = had=20 the better points, but Jan lost somewhat unnecessarily on

time. Stockholm won with a clear margin against Trollhattan, but there= was=20 a good fight on the third board. Daniel did not find a

winning attack, and instead he had to resign when the Rabe forces=20 approached the king.

Once again the three men team won with 3-1.

Round 4

Jan-Olof Helm - Andreas=20 Myklebust          0-1
Kungsangen=20 had a bye (3 points).

Goteborg 1 won easily against=20 Vastmanland.

In the match between Stockholm and Goteborg 2, Stockholm in reality se= cured=20 the silver medals by winning the match. One of the

tournament sensations occurred when Ulf Dahlqvist seemingly easily won= =20 against the Swedish Champion Christer Hartman. Ulf has

for a while been a great shogi talent. When will he definitely break= =20 through?

Trollhattan stumbled through the match against Vasteras, where Stefan= =20 Hildingstam had a won game against Daniel. Daniel

survived thanks to some luck and some more experience.

Rond 5

Goteborg 1 -=20 Kungsangen           = ;           =20 4-0

G=F6teborg=20 2 had a bye (3 points).

Goteborg 1 secured the gold= =20 medals by winning against Kungsangen. On the second board, Arash Rouhani on= ce=20 again showed

that he has to be taken into consideration in the future. He threw awa= y two=20 tempi in the opening by first moving the bishop to 7g

and then exchanging the bishop at 2b. Still he got an attack along his= =20 right hand side lance file. Martin had to play on dan level to

control the young challenger, who even came back after a small mistake= in=20 the start of the final attack. But then young brother

Rouhani lost in the final tsume attack.

The Vasteras organiser in shogi as well as in chess, Stefan Hildingsta= m,=20 played well once again and had a better position against

Thore. Stefan, winner of the older group in the Beginner Shogi= =20 Tournament at the Swedish Chess Championship this summer, shall

be well remembered for his games in the Swedish Shogi Team Championshi= p,=20 even though he happened to lose his games this

time.

Final standings:

Remaining impressions from the Swedish Sh= ogi=20 Team Championship:

Record of participants again!

The tournament was a big success, not least thanks to the organizers f= rom=20 Vasteras and surrounding villages. The visiting former

Shoreikai student Egoshi, who won the "World Championship" in New York= in=20 2000, now living in Brazil, contributed to the good

spirit and some shogi knowledge at the venue, which was outdoors on= =20 Saturday at the Sigma scene and indoors at a chess club on

Sunday.

Ulf Dahlqvist and Arash Rouhani joined the group of Swedish dan candid= ates.=20 There we already have the following names with their

top performances within brackets: Christer (Swedish Champion 2005), Ni= ls=20 (Tokyo 2002), Anders (ESC/WOSC 2004), Jan

Palmgren (the kyu board in Tokyo 2005), Niklas (the Swedish Championsh= ip=20 play-off 2004), Jonas (Trollhattan Open 2005) and

Farhad (Eric Cheymol, ESC 2003). Who will become the fifth Swedish dan= =20 player?

Goteborg 1 is the strongest club team in Sweden with two dan players a= nd=20 two strong kyu players. The club is also well organized

with a lot of shogi activities, tournaments and meetings as well as= =20 sponsorship for the participants of the Swedish Team Shogi

Championship. But the team spirit is the key to success!
