The winner of 3rd Shogi World Championship is Paul Ogi

According to Larry Kaufman's post to shogi-l, the winner of 3rd Shogi World Championship which was held on November 13 through 15  in New York  is Paul Ogi.

• World Amateur Shogi Championship - SHOGI-L | Google Groups

The convincing winner was 24 year old Paul Ogi. He lives in Japan but holds US citizenship; his father is Japanese but his mother is American. He recently finished in the top eight in the Japanese Amateur Meijin tournament, holds a 2600 (6 Dan) Shogi Club 24 rating, and has a 1-1 score in formal games with pros. It is quite amazing to me that no one in the west seemed to be aware that a U.S. citizen had reached the level of the very top of the Amateur world in Japan

I found his profile in Japanese and photo in the website of the joint association of branches of JSA in Saitama prefecture.
