Habu's 6th Osho title in a row

This week in Shukan Shogi the fifth game of the Osho match between Habu and Tanigawa. Unlike the other games in this match, not much fireworks early on in this game as it seemed destined for sennichite a long time. In the end Tanigawa opened up the game, but that may have been ill-advised. Habu got the upper hand and in the end that was just enough to win.
