Today is the day for the challenger deciding final of the 5th Mynavi Joshi Open. The finalists are Shimizu Ichiyo, who is very famous, and Hasegawa Yuki, who became a female professional player only last autumn at the age of sixteen. Let's see whether young Hasegawa will succeeded in taking advantage of her momentum or Shimizu will stand Hasegawa's way to stop her.
The game started at 10:00 local time in Japan today. Since the allotted thinking time per player is three hours, I think the game will finish after 3:00pm. The winner will be the challenger against Queen Ueda Hatsumi. You can watch and replay the game in the official board linked below;
