Today the semifinals and the final of 5th Asashi Trophy shogi open is being held. The semifinalists are two crown Habu Yoshiharu, 5-dan Sugai Tatsuya, who won the last Daiwa Securities Cup, 9-dan Goda Masataka and 7-dan Hirose Akihito. The semifinals are going to start at 10:30am at Asahi Hall in Yurakucho, Tokyo. The final is scheduled to be playe at 2:30pm today at the same venue. The allotted thinking time per player is 40 minutes for each player and he will have to make a move less than 60 second per move after consuming it, so I think it will end in about two hours from the starting time. You can replay and watch the game through the following official liveboards;
