One of the eight major shogi titles, the 4th station of the "Ouisen" started in Tokushima City. Finished the first day of games.
In the 4th station of the "Ouisen", a game hall was set up at a restaurant in Tokushima City, and after the challenger Toyoshima 9th Dan entered the room first, Fujii Gokan sat in front of the board.
The game started at 9:00 a.m., and after hitting each other with the steps of the rook in our own half, we exchanged the "horns" of the big pieces and arranged the formation.
After that, there was a series of cautious gestures to see each other's moves, and after 6:00 pm, Toyoshima 9-dan wrote the next move on a piece of paper and handed it over to the observer, performing a ``sealing hand,'' and the first day's game came to an end. .
The Fujii five crowns have maintained the “five crowns” by winning both the “Eio Battle” in May this year and the “Kisei Battle” in July.
On the other hand, Toyoshima 9th Dan lost to the Fujii five crowns in three title fights last year, "Oi", "Eio", and "Ryuo", and it is a battle to get revenge.
So far in the 7th match of the throne match, Fujii has 2 wins and 1 loss.
The game on the second day will be resumed at 9:00 am on the 25th after opening the "sealing hand", and the winner is expected to be decided on the afternoon of the 25th.
