Intro to Shogi (Japanese Chess)
Yoshiaki Kuwata, Shan Riku, Satoshi Takahashi
Tue Jan 17, 24, 05-06:30pm, 2-136
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
This is an introductory class to Shogi (Japanese Chess). Shogi is similar to chess, but has additional twists. For example, when a piece is captured, it becomes a piece for the capturing side, and can be dropped back onto the board! We will go over the basic rules, do some demos, and you will be able to play a game of your own at the end of the session. The rule is very simple. Bring your friends along and join us playing this fun game!

Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: An interest in card games, and the desire to have fun!
Come and discover the fun and intellectual challenge associated with contract bridge! In this course, we explore the fundamentals of the game, including bidding, declarer play, and defense. The lessons are based on The Club Series by Audrey Grant, as published by the American Contract Bridge League.
Each session will consist of a lecture, several examples, and supervised play. By the end of this eight-session course, the student will have learned enough to play bridge socially, and start exploring the exciting world of duplicate bridge. There will also be an individual tournament at the end of the course, with prizes for the winners.
Sponsored by the Department of Mathematics, and the MIT Draper Labs Bridge Club.
