On July 12 and 13, the 1st game of 47th Oui-sen between Oui Habu and Kisei Sato is held. As a result of Furigoma, Sato played Sente. The thinking time is 8 hours for both players. If one player consumes them,then he must make a move within 60 second byoyomi per move.
The diagram is when Sato resigned the game to see Habu's Rook drop on 5i. Although Sato's King is not threatened to mate so much yet and he had material advantage, the situation is hopeless. Here is some examples of variation after the diagram.
S*8h R-6i+ K7g +Rx4f G-6g N-8e K-8f +Rx2i+(!) Bx2i N*9d Kx9e G*8d K-9f N-8f Kx8f G-9e(mate)
S*8h R-6i+ K7g +Rx4f P-7e +R-5g S*6g G*7h Sx7h +R6ix6h K-7f +Rx6f Kx6f G*6e(mate)
Oui Habu made a good start. You may replay all the game at here.
By the way, it will be interesting to compare this game with the recent 4th game of Meijin-sen since the positions at 44th move are the exactly same. You can visit Professional games with comments and refer to Game 4: Moriuchi-Tanigawa 1-0 of 64th Meijin Match 2006 (Moriuchi vs Tanigawa 4-2).
