The 6th game of 20th Ryuo-sen seven-wins match between Ryuo Watanabe and Challenger Sato was held on December 12 & 13. The Sente player of this game is Watanabe. Watanabe won it in 135 moves. With this victory, he defended Ryuo-title by 4-2. He holds Ryuo-title for four terms in a row which nobody did it in the history of Ryuo-sen for 20 years.
The diagram above is the resignation diagram. After the diagram, Gote's King would be trapped as below;
Kx1a Nx1c+ S*2a L*1b Sx1b S*2b(mate)
Gote has no effective way to check Sente's King at the resignation.
Thanks again for providing commentary, it's useful for beginners like me. :)

> Clement,
You are welcome. This time, the resignation diagram is very easy to explain which is fortunate to myself.
