The third game of the 35th Ryuou Title series 7-game Series, where Hirose 8-dan was challenging Fujii Ryuou was held at Ryokan Tachibana in Fujinomiya city(located in Shizuoka prefecture) on October 28th and 29th. Fujinomiya City was the first time to held Title Series. Score was Hirose 8-dan one win, Fujii Ryuou one win.
Sente was Hirose 8-dan. Game form was Double wing attack, which was the first time to play in these Series. Hirose 8-dan was better situation balance at the opening game. Hirose 8-dan widened the situation balance on the second day in the morning. Most funs might thought that Hirose 8-dan would win.
Fujii Ryuou sacrificed his rook at the middle and end game. Ameba TV Commentator, Hasebe 5-dan and Kouru Abe7-dan said “I was very surprised that there was such a good rook`s move. Hirose 8-dan might also be surprised at this move.”
After this move, He became better situation balance, kept the attack and approached Hirose 8-dan`s king at the end.
Fujii Ryuou came from behind to win with 112 moves. Next game will be held on November 8thand 9th. I am looking for Hirose 8-dan`s rollback.
