The following game is available to watch and play through today. The game started at 10:00am(JST). Habu became Sente as a result of Furigoma. The allotted thinking time per player is three hours. So I think it will end after 4:00pm(JST) today.
Though Habu is famous, some readers may not know who Kiriyama is well. So I'm writing something about him briefly. Kiriyama is 64 years old with more than 40 straight years of shogi professional career. He is from Nara prefecture. He had held four titles in total including Kio once and Kisei three times in 80's. He won the prize of the highest winning percentage in the business year 1974 and that of the most winning player in the year 1983, and many more. He is obviously one of the greatest veteran. His playing style used to be defensive when he was younger, but after being matured, he changed it into a pretty aggressive style.
Here is the official site and the official blog of the 20th Tatsujin-sen(in Japanese). And you can watch the game in 81 dojo as well with a chat window just under the virtual board.
