18:00 on the first day
Predict a hand closure
At 6 p.m., Zhang Xu, a member of the Standing Committee, and Shibano Tiger Maru, who served as the commentator of this newspaper, both came to the YouTube channel to review the first day's chess game and predict the closure.
In response to the offensive and defensive battles on the left side in the afternoon, Zhang Xu said: "Every hand of chess is difficult to predict, and it is full of ideas", but from the results, the black chess does not play the thick momentum formed from the lower left corner to the bottom. Indicates: "Chess is inefficient".
What is concerned is the sealing of the hand of the one-power Liao.
Both players predicted that the next hand would be A-bit Xiaofei, starting from the top where there was no battle, and then launching an offensive attack.
Shibano Tiger Maru said: "White chess is slightly better", but Zhang Xu added: "Yili Liao is a chess player who will not be helpless and simply lose like this". Looking forward to the tenacious battle of Yili Liao on the next day.

The next day the match begins
As on the first day, the Ichiritsu Challenger and The Celebrity Yuta Iyama entered the match room one after another. At 9:00 a.m., Zhang Xu, the person who was standing in the meeting, said: "The time has come, please put it in front of the situation before the seal." The two players began to play the first day of the game.
Zhang Xu said: "Now open the hand envelope", and then opened the envelope with scissors.
"The hand seal is 6-4". This hand presses the white piece in the upper left corner, and then forms a solid space above it. This is different from the sealing hand predicted by Zhang Xu and Shibano Tiger Maru yesterday. Shibano Tiger Maru said: "Two candidates for my own, but I guessed the wrong one. This is also the first-hand chess game that I thought of, and it felt similar to another candidate. I think both of these hands are OKAY."

Virtual market commentary
On the YouTube channel, virtual dashboard commentary began. The commentary is that Mimura ensures nine dan, and the assistant is Wanbo Kanai four dan.
Wan Bo Kanai is the sister of Wan Bo Nai Ho, and they are well known as sister chess players. In 2004, she won the title of Female Flow Chess, and in 2014, she began to choose to take a break because of her husband's work in India and child-rearing, and began to restart the game in June this year.
This is also a long-lost explanation of the big market of Wan bo Kana, who said with a bitter smile: "I don't know much about the latest stereotypes", but the combination with Mimura Tomoho is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Just because it's a celebrity
At this time, Iyama Yutashi made a stern move.
After sealing the hand, after sealing the white chess piece in the upper left corner, Yi Li Liao asked the black chess piece to make up the chess in the A or B position, but Iniyama Yuta chose to take off the side of the △ first. In the place where black chess is about to become a force, it took the lead in grabbing the base area. Zhang Xu said: "This hand chess is very severe, if the horns do not play chess, it is not good to play a force." In the case of advantages, there is no choice of safe operation, which is the next method of "Well Mountain Flow". Zhang Xu said: "If you can still win in this way, the blow to the opponent is still very large, and it is precisely because it is Yuta Iyama who will go down like this."
But if you keep doing this kind of thing, you will also give up the opportunity to your opponent. After posing in a straight position, he stared at the upper left corner to see if he could apply pressure in the lower left corner.
10：40
Meet for the first time in a virtual market commentary
In the youTube channel's virtual commentary, Kana Wanbo and Shibano Tiger Maru explain the situation together. Because Wanbo Kanai has been off for a long time, this is the first time the two players have met.
Wan Bo Kanai asked, "Isn't it difficult to influence the trend of the entire series in the first game of seven chess pieces?" Shibano Replied, "I played 4 times, but I lost the first game because I didn't win the first game, so I didn't know how to answer."
11：00
Yuta Iyama, Drip water leak
Yili Liao started with the Black 85, aiming at the means in the upper left corner while attacking the upper left.
But Yuta Iyama turned around and chose White 86 to play chess in the top left corner.
Seeing the flexible means, Zhang Xu said: "In the case of advantages, Yuta Iyama will not give the opponent the opportunity to reverse, completely focus on how to shrink the chessboard, drip water, and steadily lead to victory."
12：00
siesta
When Yuta Iyama was considering the 100th hand, the time came to noon and entered the lunch break.
Each side has 8 hours of chess, and the remaining time of the two sides is 3 hours and 04 minutes, and Iyama Yuta has 2 hours and 29 minutes.
Come from Osaka to support
The match room is the pavilion "Kinsui" at the Chinzanso Hotel in Tokyo, and from the match room you can see the garden with a pond, and you can look at the water and quietly concentrate on the environment.
On August 25, before the match, in front of the Nishikisui Gate of the teahouse-style house, a huge stone with the name of the stone was "Hulushi", which was moved from the old banquet hall "Ōkakuen" in Osaka City, which closed in June this year.
The gourd is the mascot that Toyotomi Hideyoshi uses on horse prints. A large stone with a gourd chiseled out of the center is very popular in Osaka City.
The surface is red because of the traces of war burning. The person in charge of the Chinzanso Hotel in Tokyo said: "This has experienced the momentum of the war, and I hope that as everyone's mascot, it will be displayed to people, and it will be moved to cater to this celebrity war." Perhaps in the Celebrity War, he came to support Yuta Iyama, who was born in Osaka.
The two sides exchange lunches
The second courtyard Yama Yuta's lunch is "tomato seafood pasta", and Ichiritsu chooses soba noodles.
Seafood noodles include seafood such as shrimp and conch, as well as pasta made with hand.
Soba noodles are also served with radish puree and green onion seasoning, and it looks like a very refreshing dish. Both players also ordered oolong tea.
13：00
The game continues
At 1 p.m., Zhang Xu, a member of the Standing Committee, said: "The time has come", and the game continued.
Yuta Iyama shook her body and after thinking about it for 2 minutes, she lowered the tip of the 100th hand.
14：00
What was Zhang Xu's gift to Shengduan's wife?
At 2 p.m., Zhang Xu appeared in the virtual market commentary, and regarding the promotion of his wife, Kobayashi Izumi, to the seventh paragraph, Wan Bo Kana asked: "Is there any celebration?" ”
Zhang Xu replied: "This is not, nor did I think about celebrating anything," adding, "As a memorial to make a number '7' dead or alive, that's all."
Wan Bo Kanai said: "Full of love, it is rare to send a dead or alive problem after the ascension." It should be very happy." Zhang Xu said: "The average woman's words will definitely be angry, but this gift has a unique meaning in the world", Wan Bo Jianai said: "This is also too heartwarming."
15：00
The snacks are all fruit platters
Snacks on both sides were ordered on a fruit platter, and Yili Liao did not have a snack on the first day.
On the plate were cantaloupe, mango, figs, grapes, pears, blueberries and watermelon. There is also the "chocolate effect" provided by the sponsor Meiji Company.
15：05
Battle of secrets
Yi Li Liao, who was at a disadvantage, put all his energy into the white chess dragon from the left to the center.
In the face of Iyama Yuta's White 1, Ichiri Liao made a clever move from black 2 to black 8. After white 1, if you choose black A, white chess is very comfortable, but after the exchange of black 2 to white 7, the top of black 8 is established. Unlike the small tip of Black A, it can continue to attack white chess. However, Yuta Iyama's White 9 and White 11 are also curious, aiming at the breakpoint of the B bit and invading the black chess piece. Here, Li Liao can only continue to attack the white chess, and the focus of this game of chess comes to the attack and defense on the left. Ai's winning percentage is more than 90% of Iyama's, but from a human point of view, as long as you are not careful, this game will be reversed. Yili Liao did not give up on this.
16：00
There is still about 1 hour left for both sides
At 4 p.m., the recorder was replaced by the first section of Tsujiwa from Hiroshi Aoki. Now the game room is still a one-person system. The recorder is replaced every 1 hour, but if one of the parties is about to enter the second reading, the recorder will enter the two-person system.
The remaining time between the two sides, 1 hour and 18 minutes for the black force Liao, and 1 hour and 15 minutes for the white One Shota, is almost evenly matched.
17：10
Face a fierce attack
YiLi Liao knew that the air was no better than the opponent, and could only make a final attempt.
After black 1, white 2 is broken, and after black 3 is broken, white 4 grows out. It is also here to attack the big dragon of the white chess piece from the left to the center.
If Black A starts chasing after White Chess 2, he can see scattered Black Chess pieces, which Can be used as reinforcements to threaten White Dragons later.
At this time, the research office said that Yuta Iyama could choose not to break in the 2 positions, and then counterattack from the white B, even if he was hit twice by the black chess piece in the upper right corner, the game of white chess was still not bad. However, in the face of the attack of Yili Liao, Iyama Yuta responded head-on, and Iyama Yuta still implemented the strongest response. Zhang Xu commented: "It is worthy of Being a Well Mountain, it is too terrible."
At 5 p.m., Izuyama Yuta had 1 hour and 09 minutes left, and Ichigo had 24 minutes left. This game of chess is about to enter the climax, and the winning rate of the strongest AI "masterpiece" indicates that Yuta Iyama's winning rate is 91%. Has Yuta Iyama figured out the situation?
17：15
The recorder enters the two-day program
At 5:15 p.m., Tsuji entered the match room and the recorder entered the two-man system.
At this time, Yuta Iyama had just landed, and Zhang Xu, who explained in the virtual market commentary, said: "In this case, it will not be able to be restrained."
18：00
Still compact
After 6 o'clock, there were 10 minutes left in yililiao's time, and it entered the second reading.
Tomoho Mimura, who was watching the situation, said: "I thought that the black chess piece was going to be broken, but this game can still be played." White chess does have something, but it's still compact."
18：50
Be on somebody's trail
In the face of the winner and loser of Yili Liao, the research office believes that the offensive of Yili Liao cannot continue, and this game of chess is about to end. But Yili Liao still made all kinds of tricks.
Black 25 is good hand, white 26 is inevitable. White 34 and 36 rescued the tendons, but when they reached Black 47, The white chess piece ate the black chess piece in the upper right corner, and the black chess piece turned the right white piece into a black space, completing the conversion. Although a large change has been formed, Iyama Yuta's advantages can still not be shaken, and this game of chess will enter the closing stage. Yili Liao still did not give up, desperately looking for a winning opportunity.
18：55
One last read of seconds
When considering the 187th hand, Yili Liao still had the last second reading left, and Iyama Yuta's time was only 10 minutes left, entering the second reading. The situation is still the advantage of Iyama Yuta, but Ichirio shows an indomitable fighting spirit.
19：24
Yuta Iyama won the mid-game
At 7:24 p.m., Yili Liao conceded defeat.
Yuta Iyama won the game in 212 hands, and when the two sides used up, Yuta Iyama had 6 points left and 1 point left in Yili liao.
The second round was held from September 8 to 9 at the "Four Seasons" in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture.
Yuta Iyama: This game has always been tough
Yuta Iyama: [How do you feel on the first day of this game] The result of the actual battle on the left, although it does not have an iron eye, is not the best result, and after the white 76 small tip, he did not have a very good way. But it was very empty, and I think the situation was not bad at that time.
[The next day's offensive and defensive battles are very interesting, when was the death and death of the great dragon clearly seen] At that time, I did not know what the result would be, in short, it was a millimeter difference. The official stage is also very subtle and indeed can't be seen clearly, but in terms of numbers, I should win a little.
[Seven pieces of chess first, summarize this game of chess and then face the next game to say a little ambition] Seven pieces of chess has just begun, so the later chess games still play their own chess. Although this game of chess has its own things, there are still many things that I don't understand, and it is indeed a very complicated chess game.
Yili Liao: The result of all efforts, that's it
Yili Liao: [What was the situation on the first day] The actual battle on the first day was not good, the lower left corner and the lower left corner spent a lot of energy on themselves, and then the battle on the left did not have a good result. When I sealed my hands, I felt that I was very tight in terms of eyesight.
[When to start deciding when you want to spell the number of eyes the next day] The number of eyes should be much behind, so you can only attack the white chess. However, the opponent is not very good at correctly coping, and at least the next day he still played a satisfactory chess game.
[After the right side forms a conversion, how does it feel] The number of eyes feels a little worse in the end, in short, it takes a lot of effort to win.
[Summarize this game of chess and then face the next game to say a little ambition] The first day failed to play their own chess, the situation of this game is likely to end hastily. It is indeed too difficult to reverse the situation, but it is still out of its own way, and in a difficult situation, it is okay to go down like this. In terms of content, this game of chess is indeed very general, and it is necessary to adjust it well in the face of the Holy War after 2 days.
