The second game of Ouza Title Series

 

  The second game of 69th Ouza Title series 5 game Series , where Kimura 9-dan was challenging Nagase Ouza  was held at Nishiura Onsen Gimpaso in Gamagori city(located in Aichi prefecture)  on September 15th.  Score was Kimura 9-dan one- win.

 

 Nishiura Onsen Gimpaso is famous for Shogi Title series venue. 6 title fights except the Ryuou Title Series and the Aiou Title Series were held, so Shogi fans  call "shogi no shrine".

 

 Sente was Kimura 9-dan. Game form was Double Wing attack.  Kimura 9-dan chose high rook and attacked from his right side.  Nagase Ouza defended Kimura 9-dan`s attack and his king succeed to escape from his right side to left side. Situation balance had been almost even by around 80 moves.  Kimura 9-dan failed to approach Nagase Ouza`s king at the end game.  Ouza brinkmated  kimura 9-dan`s king.

 

Nagase Ouza won with 100 moves. Next game will be held on September 22th. I am looking for next game.
