Tanigawa beats Okazaki
The second game of the Meijin-sen was played a little too late to make
it to this issue of Shukan Shogi. Instead, the second game of the Zen Nihon
Pro Tournament between Tanigawa and Okazaki is the main item in this week's
magazine. Okazaki's formal kimono arrived in time to start the second
game in the style that is common in title match events. For a while it seemed
to inspire him as good opening play gave him the early lead. However, this
did not lasted long as he did not see that a normal Tanigawa development
move was actually a devious trap. Okazaki got a bad position, got one chance to
make it difficult but chose the wrong continuation and lost quickly.
