Shogi Game 17 (professional, no comment). This is a rather old game, played in 1947, between Kimura Yoshio (at that time the Meijin) and his challenger Tsukada Masao. It is given as an example of a fierce and short fight which might take place in shogi: you almost see the sparks fly as the opponents get into close contact. Neither player cared for the safety of his king. That's a very difficult and dangerous line. Klaus Blumberg Submitted 3-rd July 1990.
