On June 1 and 2, the 5th game of 64th Meijin-sen between Meijin Moriuchi and Challenger Tanigawa was held in Gunma prefecture, Japan. Tanigawa played Sente(Black) and he won the game with 111 moves. The score after the game is 3-2 led by Meijin Moriuchi. The 6th game will be held on June 15 and 16. It will certainly be a big game to both players.
Here is a diagram of resignation in the left. Tanigawa dropped his Silver on 4b and Moiuchi resigned the game. There are forced mate after the diagram as following;
Gx4b +B-2c K-5b(5a or 3a) Nx4b+ Kx4b B-3b+ K-5b(or 5a) G*6b(mate)
Gx4b +B-2c P*3b Nx4b Kx4b Bx3b+ K-5b(or 5a) G*6b(mate)
It was a typical one move difference. If Gote(White, Upper side)'s King was not in check at the resignation diagram, Sente's King would be mated such as N*7f K-9h Rx7h+ Gx7h +Rx7h(mate)
