Today is the day for the 1st game of 24th Ryuo-sen challenger-deciding best-of-three match between two crown Kubo Toshiaki and 9-dan Maruyama Tadahisa. As a result of Furigoma, Kubo became Sente. The game started at 10:00am. Since the allotted thinking time per player is five hours, I think it will end after 9:00pm today. Kubo showed a bold opening such as sacrificing a Pawn on 7th file at the seventh move without moving his Rook to the 7th file. You can watch and replay the game through the following page.
