Here is another boardlive today. In Joryu-Meijini-league, three players such as Shimizu Ichiyo, Chiba Ryoko and Satomi Kana shared the top place in 7-2. The play-off is taking place between Chiba and Satomi first, then the winner of the today's match will compete against Shimizu to be the next Joryu Meijini challenger. Since Shimizu's standing in last term was the highest of the three, she has advantage to need only one win to challenge Joryu Meijin Yauchi while the other two needs two victories to do so. You may replay and watch the game through the following Kifu-for-Java link. As a result of Furigoma, Chiba became Sente player.
Chiba Ryoko(Joryu 3 dan, Sente) vs Satomi Kana(Kurashiki Tohka)
The thinking time per player is 2 hours and less than 60 seconds per move after consuming it. I think it will end around 2:00 through 3:00pm(Japan time).
