Fujii 9dan challenges Asahi Habu, after he defeated Ohno 6dan, Ryuoh Watanabe, Fukaura 8dan, Tanigawa 9dan and Goda 9dan in the= knock-down tournament with 16 participants. As a result of Furigoma, Habu made a first move. Before the game, Fujii=20 lost 8 games in a row against Habu. The main reason was Habu recently often= =20 played Ai-Furibisha(both ranging rook) against Fujii to prevent him from= =20 using famous Fujii system in the opening of Shikenbisha(4th file rook) vs= =20 Ibisha(static rook). It will be interesting to see which opening strategy= =20 Habu chooses, Ibisha or Ai-Furibisha during this series. Each player has 3 hours as thinking time, so I think the match will be finished in the evening of today in Japan.=20 You can watch and replay the game at http://www.asahi.com/shougi/kifu24/s060404.html The top page of shogi in asahi.com is at http://www.asahi.com/shougi/ Here is the schedule of the 24th Asashi open shogi championship from the= =20 second game onwards; 2nd game April 19 3rd game May 4 4th game May 15 (if either player does not take 3 wins yet) 5th game May 23 ( - ditto - ) Have fun.
