On October 16, the 2nd game of 19th Joryu oui-sen between Joryu Oui Ishibashi and Challenger Joryu Meijin 2 crowns Shimizu was held. Shimizu was Sente player and Ishibashi beat Shimizu
in 180 moves. Since this is 3-win match, Ishibashi needs one more victorhy to defend the title. The diagram below is the resignation one.
After the diagram, the possible variations would be as followings;.
Bx9a+ Gx8i Kx8i R*7i(mate)
N*7e Gx8i Kx8i S*7h(!) Kx7h N*6f Kx6i G*7h K-5i R*5h(mate, replayable by clicking the arrow in the right direction).
There might be more variations, but Sente was hopeless anyway. The 3rd game will be held on October 22, 2008.
