Subject: Oi-sen game 4

Challenger Tanigawa won the fourth game of the Oi match against Habu,
levelling the match at 2-2. Not a Shikenbisha game this time, but
Tanigawa's favourite Kakugawari. Tanigawa seemed to have a very strong
attack early on, sacrificing a knight for a breakthrough on the edge.
However, Habu escaped with his king and things seemed to get difficult
again. Habu might have had a chance to turn the tables in the endgame,
but this time Tanigawa was rewarded for his positive play,
winning the game in 125 moves. This completely opens up the fight for
the Oi title and the fifth game will be very important. This game will
be played on September 4th and 5th.
