The title defense of Shogi Souta Fujii (19) has begun.
The first station became "Sennichite" which repeats the same situation and became "repointing", but it is an unusual development where "Sennichite" is established again and the second "repointing" is performed.
One of the eight major titles of shogi, "Kisei War," started on the 3rd in Sumoto City, Hyogo Prefecture.
The game proceeded with the first move, Gokan Fujii, and the second move, Takuya Nagase (29), who used their time to listen to each other's appearance.
In the middle of the game, after 50 moves, the same phase was repeated four times between the "Kaku" of the Fujii Gokan and the "Rook" of the Nagase throne.
As a result, according to the regulations of the Japan Shogi Association, it became "re-pointing", and the game started again before 5 pm on the 3rd, but the "re-pointing" game became "Sennichite" again, which was an unusual development. ..
"Repointing" is based on the rules, and the first move and the second move are switched, and the time control is given in consideration of the time used up to that point.
According to the Japan Shogi Association, "Sennichite" in the title battle is the second station of "Eiou Battle" in which Fujii Gokan fought in the defense battle on the 15th of last month.
The second "repointing" game begins after 6 pm on the 3rd.
