From: Manabu Terao mx3 ttcn ne jp> Date: 20 sep 2006 Subject: Mainichi will have a talk with Asahi about co-sponsoring Meijin-sen Hello Shogi Fans, According to plural sources, Mainichi Shimbun has decided that it will have a talk with Asahi Shimbun about co-sponsoring Meijin-sen. Asahi unveiled that it accepted the talk. Mainichi stated this decision is due to the fact Mainichi is in a position of contributing to promotion of shogi as Japanese traditional culture. The details of co-sponsorship will be defined possibly by the end of this year. The board of NSR suggested co-sponsorship of Meijin-sen to both Mainichi and Asahi right after the provisional general meeting held on August 1 in consideration of the knife-edge vote. I thought this would not be likely to happen, but I was surprised to read the news yesterday.
