About the club

International Shogi Club (ISC) is originally established to enjoy shogi internationally on Shogi DOJO (Shogi club 24) on the net. Our aim is to have many shogi friends on the globe through playing shogi, learning each other and information exchange on shogi.

We believe the networking through internet can be a strong way not only to support the international shogi players but also to expand shogi rapidly on the globe, which is one of the most exciting game in the world.

We are a club/society in shogi club 24 and supported by shogi club 24 who encourage the overseas activity providing user friendly site for English speaking players. We are using their site with their cooperation but no financial support/relationship at all.

Our activity in ISC is purely non-profitable basis by voluntary members.
