European Players at Pro Events
We are honoured each year with invitations to send players to represent Europe
at professional level events, including World championships. These include
the Fujitsu Cup,
Ing Cup,
LG Cup,
Toyota-Denso Oza,
Chunlan Cup,
and various on-line events such the Seimitsu.
There are also women-only events for which we have received invitations.
Sometimes players are invited directly by the organisers.
