The semi-final game of the 24th Ryuo-sen challenger deciding tourney between two crown Kubo Toshiaki and 7-dan Hashimoto Takanori started at 10:00am(JST). As a result of Furigoma, Hashimoto became Sente. As many predicted, Hashimoto chose Ibisha(static Rook) and Kubo adopted Gokigen Nakabisha. Kubo surprized us to allow Hashimoto to gain the vanguard Pawn on the fifth file at the 32nd move of G-5c. After that, Hashimoto is taking long time to make the next move.
The allotted thinking time per player is five hours. So I think it will end after 10:00pm(JST). You can replay and watch the game through the following link;
