About Shogi World Championship Tournament

The New York Shogi Club cordially invites you to The Third Shogi World Championship Tournament, to be held in the weekend of November 13-15, 2009, in New York, supported by the Nihon Shogi Renmei and the City of New York, among other sponsors.

The winner will be awarded with the title of The Amateur Shogi World Champion, along with the cash prize of US$3,000!

The First Shogi World Championship Tournament was held in New York in May of 2000, and Mr. Katsumasa Egoshi of Brazil became the 1st Amateur Shogi World Champion. In the following year, we planned the second tournament, but it was obstructed by the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York. We are pleased to have the opportunity to hold the third tournament in 2009, and we hope to see you all in New York next November.
