The third game of Ousho Title Series

 

 The third game of the 72th Oushou Title series 7-game match, where Habu 9-dan was challenging Fujii Oushou was held at Kanazawa Tokyu Hotel in Kanazawa city on January 28th and 29th.  Score was Fujii five crown one-win , Habu 9-dan one win.

 

Sente was Fujii Ousho.  Habu 9 dan was not decided  whether he chose swinging rook or snow roof at first. Fujii Ousho made a piece building to respond to either snow roof or swinging roof. Habu 9-dan chose snow roof.

 

After sealed move, Fujii Ousho was better situation balance. Habu 9-dan moved his king to 4th rank, His king was surrounded with 2 golds and 2 silver to protect opponent`s attack .Fujii Ousho attacked carefully and widened the situation balance.

Habu 9-dan mounted a counterattack several times, but he could not catch opponent`s king.

 

Fujii Oushou won with 95 moves. Next game will be held on February 9th and 10th. I am looking for Habu9-dan`s rollback.
