Wow, I started reading the comments, when the game was at about 80th move, and before I finished, it was a game over - it really suprised me, I thought that Habu is in trouble. But he stand up in great style :)
I bet it was wrong for Yamasaki to stay with his king in the 5a.
Anyway, thx for this comments, Takodori! :)
