The seventh game of "Oshogi", one of the eight major titles of shogi, will start on the 9th.
Regarding this title match, which requires the achievement of the "five crowns" as a teenager, which no one could achieve until now, Souta Fujii's four crowns (19) said, "I want to point to a shogi suitable for the attention-grabbing king war." He talked about his enthusiasm.
Last year, Fujii's four crowns achieved the "four crowns" at 19 years and three months, the youngest in history, and holds half of the eight major titles.
A press conference was held in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture, where the game will be held before the "Oshogi" that starts on the 9th. Since the Osho War is a series that has been attracting attention, I would like to do my best to make it a suitable shogi. "
On the other hand, title holder Akira Watanabe (37) said, "I have been fighting with Mr. Fujii in the title battle, but I haven't got any results. I'm a tough opponent. While watching how it will come out, I would like to make a shogi with content that will lead to the second and subsequent stations. "
In the 7th game of "Oshosen", the game will be organized until March, and the player who won the first 4 wins will win the title.
Whether the triple crown of Watanabe will win the championship for the fourth time in a row, or the four crowns of Fujii will take the title and break the youngest record of the "five crowns", the whereabouts of the game will be watched.
The first station will be held at "Kakegawa Castle Ninomaru Tea Room" on the 9th, and the victory or defeat is expected to be decided on the 10th.
