After that, the difference was gradually widened, and when the winning percentage graph by ABEMA’s “SHOGI AI” that was being broadcast gradually approached 99%, the so-called “Fujii curve” was drawn, and it was the turn of the offensive. A quick gathering. I did not miss the chance and settled.

After the game, Ryuo Fujii said about 7 wins and 1 loss, “I have a long way to go, so I hope to continue to take good care of each station.” Also, shortly after the seventh match of the Ryuo match was over, he said, “Recently, the game has been going on for quite some time, so I thought I’d take a good rest during the game.

Ryuo Fujii has left a direct confrontation with 7-0 Sasaki 7th Dan and 6-2 Shota Chida 7th Dan (27) in the remaining 4 stations this term. These three players are the main players in the promotion battle, but since there is already one player in the 7th dan of Senda, if he wins 3 times in the remaining 4 stations including the 11th round of the 7th dan of Senda, he will be in the A class. ..
