On the 18th and 19th of October 2008, There was the first game of the finale of RyuO sen in Paris, were Watanabe Akira played against Habu Yoshiharu.
Following this big event where they were part of, Sato Sinya, 6th dan pro, et Hayamizu Chisa, 2nd dan pro female, came to Alsace in order to visit us.

We would like to thank a lot the Nihon Shogi Renmei to have facilitate their venue in Colmar.

9 of our most regular players were present to meet the pros players.	We began the session with some simultaneous game. Sato played against 5 people at a row, and Mrs Hayamizu against 4.	At the end of each game, Sato 6th dan took the time to well explain the mistakes of the game, what has to be impoved and this with many kindness and pedagogy.
Mrs Hayamizu did the same on her side, even with our most young player!	Here, we can see Daniel and Vincent, fully concentrated on their both games.	After these simultaneaous games, and although it was already quite late, our two guests were so kind to offer us a training about Shikenbisha basic rules.
Sato senseï and Hayamizu senseï have shown during this short training their big pedagogical capacities.	Each step was well explained and everybody was able to understan it, even our weakest players.	even our young Yann was invited to take part to this by finding the solution of a small problem submitted by the two teachers!

Once again, thanks a lot to our two visitors for their high kindess and competency!
