Today is the day for the third game of the 24th Ryuo-sen challenger deciding best of three match between two crown Kubo Toshiaki and 9-dan Maruyama Tadahisa. Before the game, the score is tied in 1-1. As a result of Furigoma, Kubo became Sente. The winner of this game will be a chcallenger against Ryuo Watanabe Akira. The game started at 10:10 am. Maruyama allowed Kubo to choose Ishida-style Sangenbisha(Thirdfile Rook). Maruyama did not follow the three precedents at the 34th move. They were all 34.Bx7g+ instead of Maruyama's Px6e. It's a cutting edge position between static rook and Ishida-style. You can watch and replay the official liveboard through the following link.
Since the allotted thinking time per player is five hours, I think it will end after 10:00pm today.
