Subject: Fujii Wins Third Straight!

In case you didn't follow the Ryu-O sen live at
http://www.koma.ne.jp/e_ryuoh/e_index.htm, Fujii defended his title
to win the Ryu-O title for the third straight year!  Below are the
moves.

It was nice to see such great coverage in English of the biggest
shogi game of the year.  This is thanks to the "The Ryu-O Match
Coverage Project," which the website says was spearheaded by Mrrs.
Chiaki Ito, Reijer Grimbergen, and Jonathan Tisdall.

I noticed that people like Chiaki Ito, George Fernandez, and Les
Blackstock were posting their comments on the site, along with
players and pros from Japan.  What a nice way to get everyone
involved in a huge shogi event like this one.

Here are the moves (sorry they're not in .esn or gnu format):
