Subject: Sato wins fifth game of the Ryu-O

After coming back twice from one game behind, challenger Sato Yasumitsu has
taken the lead in the Ryu-O match against title holder Habu Yoshiharu. In
another Yagura game Sato beat Habu with (as Tanigawa Toshiaki described it
to me) perfect play to make the score 3-2. Since this is the first time in
the match that the black player loses a game, this might be described as a
"service break". Sato now has a good chance to win his next game with
black, winning his first major title by becoming the new Ryu-O titleholder.
