 Sente was Fujii Oushou.  Game form was side pawn picker. Situation balance was equal.

 

Second day

   Fujii Ousho was better situation balance at first.  Habu 9-dan put gold on his camp (76 moves) , which was persistent defense.  Fujii Ousho was thinking this move for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. After this move,    Habu9-dan mounted counterattack . Habu -9 dan began to attack with own knight (82 moves.)

   After this move, Habu 9-dan was better situation balance.  Most funs thought that Habu 9-dan would win.

  

   Fujii Ousho attacked with knight in hand .  Habu 9-dan made a mistake(88 moves). He did not choose offence but defense.  Fujii Ousho became better situation balance and approached opponent`s king vividly.

  

  Fujii Oushou won with 101 moves. Next game will be held on March 11th and 12th.

I am looking for next game.
