MORIUCHI'S VIOLENT ATTACK MEETS HABU'S PERFECT DEFENCE

Although there is no official holiday, the professional season ends on March 31st and most players will have almost no games in April. This week the final Junisen division ended, but Shukan Shogi first focuses on the third game of the Kio title match between Habu and Moriuchi. A very important game, as the winner would go 2-1 up with only two to play. Again it was Habu who showed how strong he is when the pressure is on. This time perfect defence against Moriuchi violent attack got him the victory.
