On November 29 & 30, the 4th game of the 19th Ryuoh-sen between Ryuoh Watanabe and Kisei Sato was held in Aichi prefecture, Japan. Watanabe was a Sente player(made a first move). Watanabe won it with 97 moves and got the score tied by 2-2. Since Ryuoh title match is 4-wins match, next game will be very important to win the match. The diagram below is the resignation diagram when Watanabe dropped his Silver on 6c to threatmating Sato's King.
After the resignation diagram, there would be the following variations. In any case, it would end with Sente's victory.
G7d-7c Sx7b+ Gx7b S*7c S*7a +Rx7b(!) Sx7b G*8b(mate, This is the line clicking the arrow in the right direction under the resignation diagram)

Hello Manabu-san,
Can you translate Japanese comments to English from this game and put them on your diagramm? And then may be to make a partition about title games or another games which have Japanese comments.
What is you opinion?

Yury, Thanks for your suggestion.
Unfortunately, I have no time to find who are the commentaters to obtain their consent of translation. And, even if I could get their consent, I have no time to translate. Please ask JSA. Or you can download the Kifu and comments to read them on Firefox by using Rikaichan. Rikaichan supports Japanese to Russian dictionary.
Furthermore, you can read the comments about title match games in Reijer Grimbergen's shogi pages.
