Wald (Canada) 0 The 3rd International Shogi Forum also contained simultaneous displays=20 by several professionals, a computer tournament (won by YSS), a bishop=20 handicap game between YSS and the professional Moriuchi (the winner),=20 friendly shogi games, a shogi shop etc. The Forum was finished with a price giving ceremony, an international=20 shogi meeting, and a farewell party. The most interesting information=20 at the international shogi meeting was that Aono-sensei expressed his=20 clear wish that the International Shogi Forum should be organized every=20 second year. What that will mean in reality is of course difficult to=20 say, since the event depends on sponsorship, but my educated guess=20 after all my years in Japan is that it will be so with a very high=20 probability, otherwise Aono-sensei would never have expressed this wish=20 in front of everyone. We will have to see when the next invitation=20 appears! Until then, the participants of the 3rd International Shogi Forum will=20 go back to their respective countries full of enthusiasm about shogi,=20 willing to spread the game even better outside Japan. And I bet that=20 everyone has already started dreaming about qualifying for the 4th=20 International Shogi Forum. That dream alone is one of the strongest=20 powers for spreading shogi outside Japan.
