One of the eight major titles of shogi, "Oi", will open on the 28th, and Souta Fujii's five crowns (19), who will be defending the title, will take the attack of challenger Masayuki Toyoshima (32) and use his time to survive. The first day is over.
The "Oi" was the same as last year when Toyoshima Kudan challenged the Fujii Five Crowns, and the first station started in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture.
In the game, the first player, Toyoshima Kudan, aggressively attacked, and Fujii Gokan surpassed while using his time, and the battle was fierce from the beginning.
Then, after 6 pm, Toyoshima Kudan wrote the next move on a piece of paper and handed it to the witnesses, and the game on the first day was over.
In addition to the "Throne Battle" that opens on the 28th, Fujii Gokan is facing a game in which he defended the title in the "Hulic Cup Kisei Match".
On the other hand, Toyoshima Kudan played against the Fujii Five Crowns in three title battles, "Throne," "Eiou," and "Ryuo," and all of them were defeated.
Whether Fujii Gokan will defend the title following last month's "Eiou Battle" or Toyoshima Kudan will take the title and play a humiliation, the game on the second day will open "Adjournment" at 9 am on the 29th. It is expected that it will be resumed and the victory or defeat will be decided in the afternoon.
