The two-month-long 46th Japan Chess Jihad Finals ended on March 17 and 18 at the World Heritage Site at Niwa-ji Temple in Kyoto. Leading 3-1, after being chased to a 3-3 draw, YiLi Liao played his strength in the last set, and defeated Yuta Iyama in the 199 hand of black, successfully challenged and made his first chess debut. Since 2013, Yuta Iyama has been a chess saint for nine years, and has waved off the position of the first person to play Japanese Go.
The prize money for chess holy war is the highest among the major chess battles in Japan, and the winner is also defaulted to as the first person in Japanese Go. The 25-year-old Yili Liao finally broke through the 33-year-old Yuta Iyama's Xiongguan and expressed his chest.
Renhe Temple was founded in 888 AD and has a long history of fame. Before the game, Jingshan and Yili visited this thousand-year-old temple under the guidance of a Zen master.
The two chess players signed on the tiles, Yuta Iyama wrote the "fu" character of "blessing for the epidemic", and Yili Liao wrote the "he" character of "world peace". It turns out that the word "he" is more favored by Renhe Temple.
Seven wins and losses become a game of decisive victory, and the result of re-guessing the first is to force Liao to hold the black first. The first patio Yama Yuta is in good shape, the white 22 five-way crane is quite ethereal, and the one-force Liaohei 23 and 25 destroy the encirclement net of the white chess and virtual flowers from a tricky point of view, but hit the tactic of jingshan fishing first and then washing. By the end of the first day of 64 hands, the winning rate of white chess was more than 70%, which was slightly better.
The final of this year's chess holy war has gone all the way through the Sea of Clouds in Tokyo, the Bright Coast, the Quaint Garden, the Hot Spring Water Town, and finally the decisive battle in the Buddha Gate.
The verse hanging in the game room is Master Kukai's "Three Thousand Passes, One Less Taste of Jiang Hai".

The next day the game resumed, a force Liao with a strong attack to suppress the two big chess pieces on the right side of the white to survive, Iyama Yuta's face of reversing the five or six games of desperate situations, only caring about his own blind survival, completely ignoring the flaws of black chess. At the critical moment, the white 96 relies on the god-like slide, regardless of strength, shape, and aftertaste, it is much worse than pulling out in the 97th position. After that, the chess game became a one-sided performance, and after a smooth scavenging, the advantage was firmly in his hands, and the official took more and more lead until the middle game was won.

Live commentary in the Buddhist temple.
In 2021, it was difficult to reach the cost of ten consecutive hegemonies in Befang, and Yuta Izuyama, who was directly named "Twenty-sixth Ben in fang Wenyu", also faced with the pattern of 3-1 leadership of the younger generation in 2022, failed to reproduce the big reversal drama of three consecutive games, and directly became the dream of "honorary chess saint". But things are not as good as a thousand, even if they are as strong as Kobayashi Koichi and Zhao Zhixun, their historical status is only that of the Eight Consecutive Powers of Chess and the Ten Leagues of Ben in fang. Although the chess saints changed masters, there were still celebrities, Ben Infang, Tianyuan, and Qisheng Yuta, who was still in the body, and the four crowns of The sage, did not go far to the peak of the competition.

The magical shooting angle of the Yomiuri Shimbun reporter: Yuta Iyama, who is walking in the opposite direction with Ichiritsu. On March 16, Yuta Iyama received the ninth award for one person a year for the ninth time in three years, in recognition of the Japan Chess Academy Shuya Award, which has outstanding achievements and promising future prospects. It was not easy to receive this honor after the age of thirty, but it did not bring good luck to his defensive battle.
From the next chess holy war, the championship prize will be reduced to 43 million yen (about 2.3 million yuan). It is not unlucky to reach the top of the last "45 million era" (the prize money of the 46th chess holy war championship is 45 million yen, about 2.4 million yuan).
