Hello everyone, lately we have seen that people from different countries of the world have started to play shogi and this fills us with joy, seeing that the number of players outside of Japan has grown; On the other hand, in some countries there are no shogi associations, groups or federations, but we can find many players.

For this reason and with the purpose of making the community grow, we have decided to create the East Shogi League - ESL, this league will be made up of those people who live in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, but in the event that a person is originally from Mexico, Chile, etc. and lives in the aforementioned areas, you can also participate and enroll in the ESL.

We will carry out the ESC - EAST SHOGI CHAMPIONSHIP championship, only registered people will be able to participate in the championship.

We just want to grow the shogi community, guide and help all players and new players in these areas.

Welcome everyone.

Hiya, it's but a Nice initiative.
Congrats.

My 2 cents, are that, 1st, and foremost, ESC (East Shogi Championship) it's quite too close to the ESC-WOSC, and so I would like to sugest to change the acronism ...
may be something like: Eastern Countries Shogi Championship. ECSC, Its but quite not pronounced as a word. But either will it give any missunderstanding. 

and 2nd but Not less important, "East" it's but a really  unapropiate term to use, as it will depend extremly on where you /we set the World map.

So to explain, from a Japanese point of view, we Europeans are "WESTER'S" (ergo to said Western Chess, of Clasic tradititional Chess).

Thats is true for Americans, we are at their East.

and so, from a "Center Euope countries", Africa will most be South, and Asia will fit the term "East".

In the end. while I would support thi and any other good initiative... the "Branding" or naming of it will play an important role.
