On March 28, the 5th game of 32nd Kio-sen between Kio Moriuchi and Challenger Kisei Sato was held in Tokyo, Japan. Sato was a Sente(black) player as a result of Frigoma and won the game in 105 moves. You may replay the game through this page. And you can see lots of pictures about this game in JSA's blog of Kio-sen . Sato became the new Kio title holder with the score of 3-2 by this victory. Kio sen is 3-wins match. He challenged Oui, Ouza, Ryuoh and Osho in vain for this fiscal year(April through March).
