This is the third time that Futatsu Fujii has won the tournament in which all players except the title player participate.
Souta Fujii (18) defeated powerful shogi players such as Takuya Nagase and Kazuki Kimura in the "Galaxy Battle" of the TV tournament, and advanced to the final on the 12th with Tetsuro Itodani 8th Dan (32). The battle was delivered and broadcast.
The game was a fast-tracking match with a time of 15 minutes each, and the first player, Nikan Fujii, proceeded to the advantage from beginning to end without giving the opponent a chance to attack. It was.
This is the third time that Fujii has won the Shogi Tournament, in which all players other than the title match participate, following the "Asahi Cup Shogi Open Game", which he won in a row last year.
In addition, Fujii's double crown was "18 years and 2 months" when the final was recorded, and Akira Watanabe's "21 years and 4 months", which was the youngest victory record in this tournament, was 3 years. I have updated the above.
After the game, Futatsu Fujii said, "Because it's a fast-pointing shogi tournament, I was thinking of pointing more clearly than usual. I'm very happy that I won the championship." Since I assembled a new computer, I can't build a new one for a while, but I hope I can build a computer again with this prize money. "
