In the "Hulic Cup Kisei Match," in which Souta Fujii of Shogi fights against the challenger Akira Watanabe in the fifth match, Fujii wins the second station on the 18th following the first match, and defends his first title. I put a check on it.
Souta Fujii (18) won the eight major titles "Hulic Cup Kisei" and "Throne" in quick succession last year and achieved the "double crown" at the youngest in history. In the fifth match of "Battle", Akira Watanabe (37), who lost the title to Fujii Nikan on the same stage last year, became the challenger, and the rematch was realized by switching positions.
The second station, which was held at a hotel in Sumoto City, Hyogo Prefecture on the 18th, continued to fight against each other until the end of the game, and the first player, Fujii Futatsu, gradually gained the upper hand with accurate pointing while consuming a lot of time first. I stood up, and after 8 pm, I pushed Watanabe Triple Crown to the end with 171 moves.
Fujii double-crowned won two consecutive victories following the first station on the 6th of this month, and took the lead in defending his first title.
In the fifth match of the Kisei match, the remaining three stations will be held by the 29th of next month, and while Fujii double crown will be the first defense if he wins one more, Watanabe triple crown is in a situation where there is no time to regain the title. It was.
Fujii Double Crown "Unconsciously" Watanabe Triple Crown "Return one first"
After the game, Futatsu Fujii enthusiastically said, "I hope I can go to the board as before, without paying much attention to the score," toward the third station on the 3rd of next month, when the first defense will take place. I was talking.
On the other hand, Watanabe Triple Crown, who was driven into the corner, said, "Next time, I would like to aim to return one."
