Dear friends I see Marks mail about MSO. I was contact person from RIF to discuss with David Levy questions about including Renju at MSO. As you know Pente was born as Ninuki-Renju. Organizing MSO-event. Reality is that you need to bring boards for tournament above 20 and stones 120*20=2400, 20 chess clocks. Who of you will bring it to the place of Competition ? MSO only suggest you to book some hotels or hostels, (You have to do it by yourself) and give you the place at MSO-Place (Alexandra Palace). All participants have to pay 15 GBP for entering the competition to MSO-organizers. So, one side it is important to take part at MSO - to advertisize the game, but the other side it is easy to make Championship in another place. Some kinds of Games like Shogi - have their own sponsors (Amazon.com) , so the participants have received some compensation expenses (above 300 USD) and winners can win some money (above 5000 USD). Next year it will be more MSO events for instanse MSO-Prague in July, so it probably will be Renju-event. But Renju have their Calendar and we will have 7-th World Championship in Renju in Kyoto at 4-11 August 2001. Organizers take a part of living expenses during the WC, (40 USD instead of 120-150). So, to organize something you need sponsors money and players willing to pay for airtickets to different places in the world..
I remember that Tom Braunlich was contact with me before we established RIF in 1988, he wanted to visit Moscow, and he suggested that Parker Brothers will enter to RIF and will pay 10000 USD sponsorship to RIF, but Japanese was against. By the way, it is interesting to see about results Renju players in Pente events (PBM-server) or IYT:
rensin - Igor Sinev was N2 at Last WC.(Moscow Club) uo9man - Kazuto Hasegawa ex-champion in Renju , was N4 at last WC.(Japan) student - Dmitry Krasnonosov (Moscow Club) barykin (lancer) - Victor Barykin (Russia) leonid - Leonid Glukhovsky (Israel- but before Moscow Club) basplund - Bengt Asplund (Sweden) azabrodin - Alexander Zabrodin (Moscow Club)
(stepanov- is not pure Renju player (Sankt-Peterburg) ladybird - also not a pure Renju player, but play Renju.)(Russia)
May be best players from Pente also will try themselfs in Renju ?
