The first game of the 34th Ryuou Title series

 

  The first game of  the 34th  Ryuou Title series 7-game Series  , Where Fujii three crown was challenging Toyoshima Ryuou was held at  The Cerulean Tower Noh Theatre on October 8th and 9th .

 

Toyoshima Ryuou and Fujii three crown (Kisei, Oui, Eiou) were fighting both Oui Title Series (7 game Series) and Eiou Title Series (5 -game Series) in this Summer. 

 

Oui Title Series’ Score was Fujii double crown (at that time) 4 win, Toyoshima Ryuou 1 win, He was the first time to defend it.

 

Fujii Double crown was a challenger for Eiou Title 5 game Series.  Eiou Title Serie`s score was Fujii Double crown (at that time) 3 win, Toyoshima Eiou 2 win.  Fujii double crown got a Eiou Title from Toyoshima Eiou and  became the youngest three crown.

 

If Toyoshima Ryuou lost these Series, He will have no Title.  He wants to defend title.

The Cerulean Tower Noh Theatre was the place where the first game of 33th Ryuou Title Series was held last year. Toyoshima Ryuou won Habu 9-dan at the first game last year.

 

Sente was Fuji three crown and game forms was Double wing attack. It was an Aerial Battle. Fujii Three crown chose high Rook, Toyoshima Ryuou put Rook on 4 th rank.

 

Fujii three crown`s piece- building was unpreceded because he moved gold to center of the 4 th rank.

Generally Speaking, Gold is a defending piece, so it is said that you must not move gold to 4th rank.  We can not keep up with genius player`s thinking can`t we?

 

Toyoshima Ryuou was better in situation balance at the opening and middle game.  I thought that Toyoshima Ryuou would win.

  

There was a drama at the end game.  Fujii three crown tried to survive Toyoshima Ryuou`s attack.  

Finally, He found the best move (99 moves) and approached Toyoshima Ryuou`s king by his knight.

 

 

Fujii three crown came from behind to win with 123 moves.  I wish Toyoshima Ryuou`s rollback.   The second game will be held on October 22th and 23th.
