Subject: Shogi professionals played chess in Tokyo

Dear shogi friends,

Today, we could follow chess games between the French GM Joel Lautier
who played Habu, Moriuchi, and Sato in clock simultaneous games at the
NEC Shiba Club close to Mita subway station in Tokyo. Sato lost
clearly, but Habu had a chance to draw his game. However, he did not
get his pieces together in a position with unequally coloured bishops,
which could be exploited by Lautier. The surprise was that Moriuchi
defended well against a kingside attack as black. He could even have
won his game, but in the end it was a draw. You can go through the
games at:
