“Akira Watanabe and Yoshiharu Hanyu Compete in Deciding Game for Best 4 Spot at Aikari/Shogi/Kisei Final T Championship” – Rebranding suggestion for clarity and brevity.

　Shogi’s Hulic Cup Kisei Battle/Final Tournament was held on April 1, and Akira Watanabe (38) and Yoshiharu Hanyu 9th Dan (52) are currently playing against each other. The winner is one game where the top 4 is decided. The battle type that attracted attention was “Aigari”.

In 2013, the 84th Kisei Tournament 5th match was fought between the two, but they clash in the second round. As a result of the swing piece, Watanabe Meijin’s first move was the start of “Aikakari”. Hanyu 9th dan, who is on the back, has shown a positive attitude from the beginning, and Wataru Uemura 5th dan (36), who appeared on ABEMA’s broadcast, said, “I’m going to move the situation myself and decide the shape. I think it’s a strategy that I’ve been preparing for,” he explained. It has already set aside precedents and is already entering a battle of strength.

The second round of the final tournament to determine the challenger to Sota Fujii Kisei (Ryuoh, Throne, Eio, Kioh, Ohsho, 20) is underway. Daichi Sasaki, 7-dan (27), who the winner of the main station will face, has decided the best 4 first. Which one will make progress in anticipation of winning the right to challenge and even reinstatement? It looks like it will continue to be an exciting development.

4 hours each. ABEMA will broadcast this game live until the end.
