Habu needs his endgame skills to beat Fujii

This week in Shukan Shogi the second game of Ryu-O match between Fujii and Habu. Habu was under a lot of pressure to win this one, but he stood up to the task and won a difficult game with a couple of unusual moves that can only be called "Habu specials".
