[Seattle Go Center] Saturday: Shogi

Hello Go folks,

Friday the Go Center is closed, but in the afternoon we're having a discussion and training about response to people in crisis, and about the AGA Code of Conduct. All are welcome to attend, especially Go Center directors, day managers, and teachers. (We will record it for those who can't attend.)
Longer description: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/seattlego/S3tqj41lB7E
We'll start at 3:30 PM, and probably finish by 5:00 or 5:30.

Saturday, the Go Center is open 1:00-8:00 PM. It is the 3rd Saturday of the month, which means it's time for the monthly Shogi meetup! If you're curious about this Japanese version of Chess, "the Generals Game", come to the Go Center between 1:00 and 5:00 PM. Brandon volunteers his time to instruct beginners, and teaching sets designed to make a gentle on-ramp to Shogi. This has been a popular and growing monthly event, with a half dozen or more Shogi players (and Go players interested in Shogi).

See you soon at the Go Center,

Mike Malveaux
Seattle Go Center Programs Manager

PS - Fun fact -- Tokugawa, the Go enthusiast who became Japan's first shogun and established government funding for Go players in the 1600s, also was an avid player of Shogi, and established government funding for Shogi players too.
