The two chess players who arrived at the hotel entered the match room and began to check the scores. This is the fifth consecutive year that the chess jihad opener has been held at the "Chinzanso Hotel Tokyo". The sound feathers of the pavilion "Nishikimizu" in the match room are also used in shogi celebrity battles. Undoubtedly, it is a holy place that both Go and Shogi fans want to go to. There are several kiosks in the wide garden, and you can see the beautiful lake from the window.
After scoring, the two players were interviewed by NHK. "At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, I still had a very leisurely life," said Yuta Iyama, who hit the 10 consecutive championships of chess, "such an opportunity is very rare, and I hope to play at the best level." Yi Li liao said: "This time is a game that restarts after the 'nine dans', and the chess holy war is the first title battle of the year, hoping to make a good start."

Inside the venue, chess fans began the "Chess Holy War Too Talk Show" activity. At the beginning of the event, Yuta Iyama said: "It is a great honor to be able to play on such a best stage as chess holy war this year. There is no better stage for chess players than seven pieces of chess, and of course it is the most difficult game. I still don't want to be happy about the results in front of me, and get the best level." Yi Li Liao said: "This time it is related to the series of 10 consecutive chess championships won by Yuta Iyama, and on such a stage, I hope that I can play the best chess game."
In the talk show, the standing people and the chess players who serve as the commentators of the big game also appeared. Keigo Yamashita, who served as the founder of the guild, said of this chess holy battle: "This is the highest level of Japanese Go, and if you are not careful, you will lose all the games, so you need to pay close attention to this game."
Here's the winning or losing prediction of the debut players for the seven pieces.
Keigo Yamashita: 4 wins, 2 losses, Ichigo wins
"After Yi Liliao lost the game in Tianyuan Battle, it depended on how he adjusted his state. Yuta Iyama didn't have any games in December, and her form is unknown. After innings 1, I want to see how they are doing."
Ryūhei Ōnishi: 4 wins, 3 losses, and Ichigo wins
"The game between these two players is bound to be a complex battle. But after meeting with Yili Liao today, I feel that my mentality and state have adjusted well."
Lin Hanjie: 4 wins and 3 losses Yuta Iyama wins
Judging from the record of the two title battles, this time it is also possible to enter the decider. Looking at the results of Iyama Yuta's 9 consecutive championships, the winning rate in the 1st to 3rd rounds is very high. It depends on how many games Yili Liao can win in the first three games, which will be the key point of the seven chess pieces."
Hosai Shiho: 4 wins and 3 losses Yuta Iyama wins
"Last year, I obviously felt the strength of Yuta Iyama, and if I go down to the decider, I am optimistic about Yuta Iyama's performance."

Ryūhei Onishi said: "It can be seen that the research here is very deep." Keigo Yamashita, a member of the Rikai, said, "If you dig, the black chess pieces below can become empty and settle down." It is a completely acceptable situation for black chess. But Yi Li Liao still chose this change, depending on what he thinks."

Black 49 (△) situation, black chess at this time in the lower left corner, lower right corner and below the empty. And white chess has a certain power in the center. Here, if the white 1 xiaofei, the black 2 small tip can surround the white chess, but after the white 3 tiger, the black 4 fight and then the white 5 robbery, the white chess is also very elastic. Graduate students started with this change and posed various other changes.

Now the touch of the white chess piece in the lower left corner is also a good hand.

White 62 (▲) situation, the first half of the situation is still very empty. The black 1 defensive corner in the upper right corner is a large field, but the black chess piece in the center of the white 2 is pressed. Kono Lin said: "So at this time, black chess needs to be reinforced in the middle."

Afternoon snack time. Yuta Iyama ordered a fruit platter and juice, and a strawberry cake and hot coffee.
In the research room, Ryūhei Ōnishi and Hoshi shiho also tasted afternoon snacks. Hoshiho, who already likes strawberry cake very much, said: "The cream is very high-grade and the sweetness is just right, and the bread is also very soft. Although I am not a person who eats desserts regularly, I think I can eat 5 cakes."
Ryūhei Ōnishi, who had tasted the fruit platter, said, "I really want to nibble on the cantaloupe directly." The imaginary sweetness was very tasty. It goes well with the sour taste of red strawberries, and the combination is perfect." There are also white strawberries that also attract Ryohei Ōnishi. "If asked what the taste is, it feels sweeter than red strawberries. If a single strawberry is concerned, I like white."
16：00
After the black 77 (△), the black chess piece in the lower left corner is successfully lived. What is seen here is the upper right corner of white 1, but at this time, the touch of black 4 is a good hand, and the black chess here may gain an advantage. In the research room, the Great Xilong equal people are studying the situation.

Hand-closed prediction
When Bai was 78, Yuta Iyama signaled to seal his hand. The laboratory thought of the span of A, followed by the B bit rush, at this time if the white C is glued, tonight Yuta Inoyama will slowly consider the situation. After that, the black chess also has a D position jump, and an E position to keep the angle.
Summary of the first day
The situation on the first day made Ōnishi Ryuhei review.
In the layout stage, Yili Liao gained an advantage below, and it was very stable here. After the lower left corner point three three should be able to respond to the place, here the white chess is not bad. Yuta Iyama may not have thought of the means of white 25 digging. Judging from the degree of opponent research, Yuta Iyama feels a little uneasy, but there is no problem with Yuta Iyama behind, and the small jumps below and other methods are all in Iyama Yuta's style. Now the white chess piece in the lower left corner is very thin, just see how the black chess piece attacks. The back can be very intense. Tomorrow will be a very complicated situation, it will become very interesting.
