Maruyama beats Sato in the first Meijin game
The new professional season got a real start with the first game of the
Meijin match between Sato and Maruyama. An interesting match-up, as it is
the first time these two players meet in a title match. Sato has a little
more experience on the big stage, but Maruyama seems to be the man to beat
these days. Game 1 already had a lot of excitement. Sato seemed to blow
Maruyama away, but Maruyama managed to throw up all kinds of obstacles
for Sato to overcome. In the end Sato overlooked one of the obstacles and
panicked a little, following this mistake with another bad move that cost
him the game.
