Subject: Osho match game 3

So far the Osho match is a perfect start to the new year. Habu and
Tanigawa both go all out and play some very exciting shogi. Game 3 again
was a very close fight that started already quite early with Habu
playing the Fujii system. I followed the game on the Internet
(http://www.sponichi.co.jp/leisure/o_syo/2001/kifu/03.html) and had no
idea who would win until the very end. In the end Habu's king was chased
from the right to the left of the board, but Tanigawa could not find a
way to mate it. Habu ran out of the checks and then had enough material
to mate himself. Habu again takes the lead in the match, but we still
have a lot of excitement to look forward to.
