Throne of Sota Fujii showing a smile with a fan in hand
Shogi’s 61st throne match (sponsored by Tokyo Shimbun, sponsored by Itoen) defeated the former throne of Ichiki Kimura (47) in the seventh game, and became the youngest double crown in history on August 20. , the new throne of Sota Fujii (18). ) = Kisei = responded to an interview with this newspaper on the 29th. That movement in that battle, the “game” that attracts attention, the hobby of making a personal computer and the future … Looking back on the fierce battle , I delved into the current state of the star player in the junior year of high school.
-How did you fight the decisive challenger in the first league of the throne?
Even if I lose the league game, there will be another one, so I think I can think more deeply than usual. They were all difficult shogi, but especially the shogi with Yo Inaba Hachidan, this was a very difficult scene from the middle. I think it was a turning point (winning in the opposite direction). Takuya Nagase, who fought in the challenger’s deciding match, is usually taught in VS (one-to-one study group), but when I matched the board in the official match, I felt more enthusiasm than usual. ..
-It was only a week from the decision of the challenge until the opening of the seventh game with the former throne of Kimura, but how did you prepare?
I haven’t made up my mind about the future, so I didn’t plan the strategy that deeply, but since it was my first time playing a game with 8 hours, I had an idea of how to use time.
-The first station (July 1 and 2) in Toyohashi city, Aichi prefecture, took the lead in swinging pieces and chose the shogi “Kakureki”.
First of all, I decided to carefully wrestle with my favorite strategy. (In the middle of the game) they took this car, but it wasn’t a hard attack right away, so I felt like I could read it to some extent. I felt that the sealant situation was not bad.
The one I chose for the question “What is your favorite piece?” “Because the situation depends on whether the horns work”
-Did you sleep the first night?
It was a situation where I could read ahead, so I thought about it to some extent, but I went to bed around 11:00 PM. In a game of two days, I thought it was important to get a good night’s sleep regardless of the situation.
◆ Feeling tired like never before
Although he kept attacking well, at the end of the game, he thought for an hour of Kimura’s ancient throne. What were you thinking?
It was planned progress, but when I reread it, I got the impression that there were many changes. At first, I couldn’t see some hands, so I thought about it again.
-It seemed like a good victory, but what was your summary of the first season?
From day one, Professor Kimura emphatically called for an attack, but I think I was able to read it carefully and return it. There was a sense of satisfaction that I was able to make the most of my 8 hours of time.
-The second battle for the title after the Kisei War. Was there any tension?
It was my first time playing a title outside of Shogi Kaikan, so I might have been a little nervous before it started, but I think I was able to calm down after it started.
-After the event, he also said that “there are still problems in terms of physical strength.”
On the second day, the final game continued throughout the day and a lot of reading was required. It was my first experience like this, and after that, I felt more tired than ever.

-In the series, there was also talk of “game”.
I was at a loss because I had so many menus ready, but I chose the one that used local ingredients (“Mikawa Fresh Fish and Seafood Bowl” on the first day).
-On the second day, “Cold Shimen Gozen” was ordered as “no mushrooms”. Why aren’t you good with mushrooms?
It is texture, yes. I’ve only had experience with Shiitake, Enoki, and Nameko, but I didn’t like that, so maybe other mushrooms wouldn’t work either (laughs).
