The fourth game of Ouza Title Sereies

 

 The fourth game of 70th Ouza Title series 5 game Series, where Toyoshima 9-dan was challenging Nagase Ouza was held at Jinya in Hadano city on October 4h. Score was Toyoshima9-dan one win.  Nagase Ouza two win.

 

Sente was Toyoshima 9-dan. Game form was Bishop exchange.  All of the games in these Series were Bishop Exchange.

 Toyoshima 9-dan changed from Yagura to Anaguma,  Nagase Ouza chose right-band king to make a waiting move.  

  

This game was Toyoshima 9-dan`s offence VS Nagase Ouza`s defense. Toyoshima 9-dan had a little piece in hand, but he managed to connect thin attack. Nagase Ouza tried to defend through.

  

Nagase Ouza moved his king to 5 th rank to try king entering, Toyoshima 9-dan tried to stop opponent’s king entering but could not stop it.

Finally king entering became certain and Toyoshima9-dan resigned.

 

   Nagase Ouza won with 184 moves. The fourth game started at 9:00am and finished at 20:41pm.  Nagase Ouza has won Ouza Title Series for 4 consecutive years. If he defends Ouza Title next year, He will be permanent Ouza. I am looking for Ouza Title Series next year.
