Masayuki Toyoshima Fight for the right to challenge Ryuo (30), Ryuo’s 33rd battle rival who decides Shogi’s third season, Zenji Hanyu 9th Dan (49) against Tadahisa Maruyama 9th Dan (50) on 19 Se performed at “Shogi Kaikan” in Sendagaya, Tokyo. The game started at 10 am, and at 9:31 pm, Hanyu defeated Maruyama with 99 moves to score 2 wins and 1 loss, and won the right to challenge.

After the event, he recalled, “I felt insecure from the beginning and could not judge the situation.” After politely responding to Maruyama’s attack, he took the first move 1 Kazuma and the opponent’s incense on move 79, and on move 83 he hit the first move 2 Kuka and the shuttlecock on move 28, and the situation was good. I decided that it was converted.

After the second station, which was greeted with Maruyama’s first victory, I tried to “carefully point one by one.” Now the station also showed solid reception throughout.
