The third game of the 70th Oushou Title series 7-game match ,where Nagase Ouza was challenging Watanabe Oushou was held at Hotel Kagetu in ohtawara city on January 30th and 31th. The score was Watanabe oushou two-win.
They have held Oushou title series for 15years in a row at Hotel Kagetu.
Access is described below.
It took about 75 minutes from Tokyo to Nasushiobara Station by Tohokushinkansen and 18 minuets by car from Nasushiobara station.
One of the most interesting sightseeing spot is “The Kurobane Basho no Yakata”
Basho was famous haiku(the shortest Japanese poem ) author. They exhibites materials related to Basho.
So far, there are 16 games between the two, Watanabe Oushou 13 win, Nagase Oushou 3 win.
Nagase Ouza lost in reverse in the second game of Oushou title siries. He wanted to win the third game.
Game form was double wing attack. Watanabe Oushou was first mover. Watanabe
won with 115 moves. I thought that Nagase Ouza could not show his strength.
I want him to show his tenacious shogi in the fourth game.
