Upcoming Swedish Shogi events


Göteborg Open

Dear shogi friends,

Participate in Goteborg Open 2007! The dates are Saturday-Sunday,
October 6 to October 7 2007. This year, the event will take place one
and a half months earlier than usual, and we hope that the visitors
will appreciate the Goteborg weather better a little bit earlier in the
autumn. It is good if you send a pre-registration to Carl Johan, so he
knows rather well how many participants there will be.
