Subject: Ryu O Title Match - 5th game

Unfortunately for Mr. Sato's fans, he lost the fifth game of the Ryu O
Title Match. This may not seem dramatic, but it is the first time this
match that white wins. The cumulative result of the title match so far is
Habu Yoshiharu - Sato Yasumitsu 3 - 2.

The last three years, Habu and Sato were the only players of the Ryu O
Title Match. In 1993 Sato was lagging behind 2-1, but won the last three
games in a row to take the title. Last year, Sato lost the first three
games, then won two, but lost the final sixth game. This year the fight
seemed very balanced until the fifth game. Now Sato has to win the coming
two games to take the title once again.

Cheers, Pieter.
