Today and tomorrow are the days for the seventh(final) game of the 52nd Oui-sen best-of-five match between Oui Hirose Akihito and Challenger two crown Habu Yoshiharu. Before the game, the score is tied in 3-3. So the winner of this game will be the next Oui-holder. As a result of Furigoma, Hirose became Sente. Day 1 of the game started at 9:00am at Jinya in Kanagawa prefecture. Hirose blocked his Bishop diagonal at the thrid move and Habu advanced hir Rook pawn to 8d at the 4th move, which showed that he had no intention to choose double ranging Rook in this game. In this way, the opening of this game become Hirose's Shikenbisha with Anaguma vs Habu's static Rook with Anaguma. Since Hirose is considerd what I call a real genius in games with double Anaguma, Habu's tempting Hirose to this opening is very impressive in the final game of the match.
