The second game of 49th Ladies Meijin Title Series 5 game Series where Tomoka Nishiyama Ladie Jo-ou, Oushou was challenging Sae Itou Meijin was held at Izumo Cultural Heritage Museum in Izumo city on January 22 th. Score was Nishiyama Ladies Jyo-ou ,Oushou one win.
Sente was Nishiyama Ladie Jo-ou, Oushou. Game form was opposition form. Nishiyama Ladies jo-ou chose 3rd file swinging rook . Itou jyoryu meijin chose static rook and formed static rook anaguma.
Nishiyama Ladies Jo-ou, Oushou showed us new strategy. She moved her rook back from 7th file to 2 th file. Her style was like a right band king. Her king was very thin, but she focused on offence.
Situation balance was changing again and again. Itou Jyoryu Meijin moved her doragon back to own territory for defence at the end game. Finally Nishiyama Ladies Jo-ou, Oushou approached opponent`s king.
Nishiyama Ladies Jyo-ou ,Oushou won with 139 moves. Murata 7-dan -Commentator in this game said “ This game was worth getting Excellent game Prize”
Next game will be held on February 5th. I am looking for Itou Jyoryu Meijin`s rollback.
