Short endgame win for Habu

This week in Shukan Shogi the fifth game of the Ryu-O match between Fujii and Habu. It was a short game, but it was actually quite interesting. Fujii again got the early lead, but he threw it all away in two consecutive mistakes. After this, Habu won with some nice endgame play.
