The discussion about "Habu's Words" is quite timely since yesterday Habu
defeated Moriuchi Meijin in Game 4 (4.5?) to regain the Meijin title.
Actually, they played twice yesterday. The regularly scheduled Game 4 ended
in Sennichite after 71 moves. After an hour break, they switched colors and
a played a reply game using their remaining time. The replay game started
at about 9 pm Tuesday night and finished after 1:30 am early Wednesday
morning when Moriuchi resigned after 82 moves.

Habu is now Meijin for the 4th time, and hold 4 out of the 7 big titles. He
is also only the 3 person (I believe) to win the Meijin title 4-0 following
Moriuchi (last year) and Yonenaga 9 dan (1993?).
