Kudan Noboru Fujii Futatsu "I want to see a different scenery that is stronger than one perfect station"

Souta Fujii, who won the first defense battle for himself, "Hulic Cup Kisei Match" with three consecutive victories and was the youngest in history to be promoted to 9th Dan, said at a press conference held after the game, "Kisei Match" I had the impression that all of them had a very good track record, so I'm happy that I was able to join them, "he said.

Regarding his goals as a professional shogi player in the future, he said, "I want to see a different landscape by becoming stronger."

Souta Fujii, who finished the most intense battle, attended a press conference at a hotel in Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture after 9 pm on the 3rd, and appeared at the press conference in the same kimono as at the time of the game. I held up a colored paper with the words "First Defense" and responded to the photo shoot with a smile.

At the press conference, he first looked back on the fifth match with Akira Watanabe's Triple Crown. I'm very happy. Every game had some pains, so I think the three consecutive wins were more than I could, "he said.

Regarding the fact that he was promoted to the highest rank of Kudan by this defense, and the youngest in history, "I had the impression that Kudan is only a person with a very good track record, so I am glad that I was able to join there as well. I think that many Kudan players are active for a long time, so I would like to aim for that as well. "

Also, regarding the fact that the title battle against Masayuki Toyoshima will continue this summer, even after the Kisei match, "The throne battle" and "Eiou battle", "Currently, I have lost considerably to Toyoshima Ryuo. However, I would like to learn from the losing shogi so that I can compete with it. I will do my best to make the series more exciting. "

On top of that, regarding my future goals as a shogi player, "I am not aware of the number of titles and specific numbers, and I still want to improve the content of the game. I fought more than 200 stations in the official game until now, but none of them I think I was able to point to perfectly, and I hope that by strengthening myself, I will be able to see a different view than before. I will. "

In addition, in the question and answer session, he mentioned that a disaster caused by heavy rain occurred in Shizuoka prefecture, where the game was held. I think it is difficult for people to enjoy shogi, but I hope that the environment in which they can enjoy shogi will return. "
