The first day

 

Sente was Habu 9-dan.  Game form was Bishop exchange. Habu 9-dan chose rapid advancing silver.  Both players were playing very fast in the morning of the first day.  Because there was no precedent in 40 moves, both players were thinking for more than 1 hour. Situation balance was equal.

 

Second day

 

 Fujii Ousho was a little better situation balance.  The point of the second day was the work of the bishop.  Nobody knew which Bishop was working better, Fujii Oushou`s bishop on the board or Habu 9-dan`s bishop in hand.  Finally Fujii Ousho moved his bishop to 5th rank(76 moves) , contained Habu magic and approached opponent`s king vividly.

 

 

Fujii Oushou won with 88 moves.  Fujii Oushou defended Oushou Title.  He became the youngest  player to win total 12th titles, ranking  8th.
