What about an even shorter game than this one ?

Suppose that a professionnal game is scheduled in Shogi Kaikan Osaka 
and that one of the pros goes to Shogi Kaikan Tokyo instead ! When he 
sees his mistake, it is too late as he doesn't have the time to travel 
to Osaka and simply loses the game by forfeit !!

It happened !
