Dear Shogi fans,
As you may know already, the European
Shogi Championship will take place this year
in Strasbourg from the 27th to the 30th of
July.
As usual, this will be a unique opportunity for
European players to meet in such a big event.
Sometimes, people may hesitate
to join, particularly if feeling beginner, since
the title "European" Championship may announce a
high level tournament. Actually, such label is
covering different events that offers a broader
choice of activities, fitting to any kind of
player.
Of course, the main event remains this
tournament dedicated to the 32 best rated
European Shogi players who will fight to get the
title of "European Champion 2023".
Still, aside from this selective
tournament, the "World Open Shogi
Championship" will welcome about 100
players coming from everywhere in the World, of
any level, from pure beginner to 5-dan players.
Using a pairing system adapted to such context,
this is therefore the guarantee for you
to meet players fitting to your level
and therefore to enjoy each of your game, with
nevertheless nice chances to improve.
Moreover, as kind of prequel
to these two main tournaments, a team
tournament and a blitz tournament will be
organized on Thursday 27th..
Even more options to play
shogi in another format !
