Fujii stays cool

This week in Shukan Shogi the third game of the Oza-sen between Habu and Fujii. It was a tough day for both players, as they had to play two games after the first game ended in sennichite. The replay was very close and Habu missed a good chance to win, but in the end Fujii stayed coolest in the close endgame and won.
