The fourth game of the 71th Oushou Title series 7-game match ,where Fujii four crown was challenging Watanabe Oushou was held at Sorano Hotel in Tachikawa city on February 11th and 12th. Score was Fujii Four crown three-win.
Sente was Watanabe Oushou. Game form was Yagura(Watanabe oushou) VS Snow roof (Fujii four crown). Both players were playing very fast in the morning of the first day. They had been playing 44 moves by 10;48. Watanabe Oushou spent 44 minutes , Fujii Four Crown spent 1 hour. By 36 moves, there had been the same position as that of the third game of Kisei Title Series in 2021. After Watanabe Ousho changed his 37 moves, there were unprecedent position.
Watanabe oushou was better situation balance at the middle and end game.
Watanabe Oushou escaped silver from opponent`s attack at 75 moves. Most people didn't think that this movement was bad, but it was said that the evaluation of AI was bad. After 75 moves, Fujii four Crown became better situation balance.
Fujii four crown won with 114 moves. He became the youngest five crown and broke the record of Habu 9 dan`s record of 23 years and 4 months. He also became the youngest Oushou Title holder and broke the record of Nakamura 9-dan`s record of 23 years and 4 months.
Watanabe Oushou was the first time to lose straight for the first time in 7 game Title Series.
I am looking for Watanabe Meijin`s rollback.
