European Championship of Shogi 2011 and with regard to the WOSC 2011 at Ludwigshafen, Germany; POKÉMON-SHOGI

Today I have the great pleasure to inform you that I have published an interview with regard to the European Championship of Shogi 2011 and with regard to the WOSC 2011 at Ludwigshafen, Germany.

I have published that interview in the German daily "Neues Deutschland" (ND).

The interview has a special focus:

+ the innovative POKÉMON-SHOGI that has been developed by the young German college student DOMINICK PICKHAN (16) from Ludwigshafen, Germany.

+ The thesis of the interview: That colourful and entertaining set of POKÉMON-SHOGI - that consists out of 80 pieces - is about to start a CULTURAL REVOLUTION in SHOGI since - by creating SHOGI IN 3D - it has a great appeal for kids.

+ The greatest dream of inventor DOMINICK PICKHAN ist that NINTENDO will call him in order to realize POKÉMON-SHOGI together with him on a great scale. Though DOMINICK PICKHAN clarifies: "I am not going for the money, in the first place. I would like my idea to get realized, that is my dream!"
