Interesting article - "Searching for Bobby Fischer, Japanese style"
Lauren Stokes wrote an article about Alan Baker, philosophy professor, who visited Japan to attend the 3rd International Shogi Forum hold by Japan Shogi Association in the Swarthmore College' online student newspaper called The Phoenix. According to the article, he started a shogi club before his trip to Japan and it is said the only college Shogi club in the U.S. The club meeting is held every Thursday at 4:00 PM at the Kohlberg coffee bar.
