The Ouza title match, which is five match series, had been held by Yoshiharu Habu Ouza and Amahiko Sato 8 Dan from September to yesterday.
Sato 8 Dan has been in a good condition and has a very high winning percentage recently.
When the 3rd game finished, Sato 8 Dan had 2 wins and 1 losses, so he had an advantage.
However, Habu Ouza won the 4th and 5th games in the face of adversity and achieved defense of Ouza title.
I was struck by not only Habu's shogi skill but also his mental strength.
In addition, I was very struck by the Habu's attitude, that is, Habu employed the opening strategy which Sato 8 Dan is very good at and win over 80 percentage against professional players, "Yokofu-tori," at 5th game in spite of the importance of the final game.
In fact, I think Sato has a little advantage on middle of the 5th game, but Habu won at the end.
I think Habu's regal attitude which usually employs the opening strategy which the opponent is good at is one of the best fascination of him.
