HABU TAKES KISEI TITLE
======================

Habu has added a fifth crown to the four major titles he already holds
by winning the fifth game of the Kisei title match against Tanigawa.
Habu won the game in 90 moves, ending the close match with a 3-2
victory. It is the sixth time Habu has won the Kisei title, but the last
time was already five years ago. It has been three years since Habu held
five of the seven major titles.
