I teach shogi to two children. Free of charge, of course.Both're 5th graders.Two weeks ago, I took one of them, Koga-kun to a big shogi competition held byJapan Tobacco(JT). It was an annual large-scale shogi competition held in Fukuoka.Koga-kun joined this competition last year but he marked no wins then.More than 400 elementary schoolers joined this. I found an American father among their parents.I talked a lot with him about his children who also joined this competition.Koga-kun won the 1st game, and I was so happy. But he lost the 2nd & 3rd games.Koga-kun had his second game with the son of the American father.Even though Koga-kun failed to make it in his preliminary matches and advance to the final selection, he had a great time.[ken]
