Satoshi Fujii, Crown Master Masataka Sugimoto, 8th Dan “Aiming for Higher Heights” August 21 1:30
Regarding Shogi Fujita Satoshi Fujiwara, who won the "thousand" title after "Gosei", his teacher Masataka Sugimoto 8th Dan said, "I'm just 18 years old, so I'm still stronger. I'm looking forward to.
Satoshi Fujii won the title of "Through" on the 20th, achieving the double crown at the youngest in history, and was promoted to the 8th dan.
In response, his teacher, Masataka Sugimoto, answered the interview with NHK, "I was surprised to win the second title, even though it was difficult for one. As a result, it was four consecutive victories, but it doesn't matter which one wins. If the gears changed a little, the result was the other way around. Yamaba was suffering from the opponent's strategy at the second station, but it was tenacious and bite and reversed and decided the flow of this series. I looked back.
In addition, “Fujii Nikappu has grown in the unit of several months and can not be touched now. During the self-restraint period of the new coronavirus, I reconsidered my favorite shogi with plenty of time again. That led to the acquisition of two titles."
On top of that, "I'm just 18 years old, so I'm still getting stronger. There are still six titles in the shogi world, and I can't say that I've yet to find a way to play shogi anymore, so I want you to concentrate as you have been and aim for further heights." I was looking forward to the further success of Tomana's disciple.
