2024 London Spring Shogi Tournament
Results
A big thank you to everyone who took part in the tournament. We had 14 participants, travelling from France, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Germany, Ireland and various parts of the UK (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sheffield and London.)
It was a strong field, with Taichi Kobayashi taking first place with a perfect 7/7 score. The next 3 players (Kazushi Shibutani, Steven Cain and Takuya Hattori) were tied on 5 points.
