Dinner at sushi king.
In the whole event, there are only 8 Malaysian people. That is Ryou Takehito and his friend, Mr. Yeoh and his family, me and my friend.
Mr. Kenji Kobayashi play with 16 peoples in a row and all the game is finish in one hour, he only lose to 4 of them, and all the game is handicap game. He handicap 6 pieces to all children and about 2 pieces to all adult. I lose to him unfortunately, his combination of all pieces is perfect, it will be unable to win him if you are not going on for an defensive castle. I tell my friend to go for a defensive castle, then he able to stablise his king and Mr. K K resign. He is still an amazing professional player.
How old is Mr. K K in the picture? He is 52 years old. He look so young lol.
The only thing i quite regret is i forget to get the signature from him, lol.
After this event, I will start to train hard on my shogi skill, to be able to go into the world of professional shogi world.
