The following game started at 9:00am(JST) and are available to watch.

• Joryu 4 crown Satomi Kana vs Joryu 2-dan Honda Sayuri

As a result of Furigoma, Satomi became Sente. Surprisingly, Satomi's first move was P-2f, advancing her Rook Pawn which showed her intention to choose Static Rook. I heard she is studying double Static Rook, but I did not expect her to adopt it in this important stage. The game is expected to end sometime after 5:00pm(JST).
