An extra website Shogi London Supplement has been set up to provide information on London, UK and other shogi which doesn't necessarily count as news.

At the moment, most of the material reflects similar articles on Shogi London, but the intention is that Shogi London Supplement will merge information from new articles and reflect the most up to date position.

Eventually it will contain material and links for beginners, rather than assuming readers already know all this. The first piece of new content is a more detailed report on the 2008 British Open Shogi Championships than provided in Shogi London.

The British Shogi Championships were held on 3-4 May 2008 as part of the Cambridge Mind Sports Olympiad. The winner of the championship was Tony Hosking, 3 dan. The battle for the kyu championship was won by Kingsley Pratt. As reward for their efforts, Tony and Kingsley will be attending the International Shogi Festival in Tendo in November 2008.
