This year's Japan Ben inoba Challenge had its ups and downs, ups and downs, and finally settled after seven rounds. Once in a desperate 1-3 situation, the reigning Honda Iniyama Yuta achieved a major reversal, repelling the young challenger Shibano Tiger Maru, reaching the great achievement of ten consecutive hegemonies in Ino, equaling the big record set by Cho Ji-hoon in 1998, and tied for the top spot in the number of consecutive periods of Japanese title battles.
After leveling the score a week ago, Yuta Iyama was highly motivated. And Shibano Tiger Maru, who was already ready to become the youngest honinbo title winner in history, inevitably had a sense of uneasiness that "the last game could not be taken down".
In this case, Yuta Iyama is the more favored side in the decider.
Japan's 76th Honinfang Challenge was seven times the seventh set
Black: Shibano Tiger Maru Challenger (Nine Dan)
White: Yuta Iyama Hon-Inbo (Kudan)
Black paste 6 1/2 mesh
A total of 180 lots
White wins in the middle of the game
Match Date: 6 and 7 July 2021
Station: Yamanashi Kofu City, Japan
In the seventh game, Shibano Tiger Maru guessed the black chess, which also made his pressure increase. The seventh innings was Razaka Satoshi Kudan, who had won the title of Tengen twice, and challenged Cho Ji-hoon in 1994 in the Battle of Ben infungbo, only to lose 3-4 in the final innings.
First spectrum 1-50
Tiger Maru Black 5 single pass to guard the corner, Iizo Haku 6 immediately encountered, the opening is the decisive atmosphere is strong.
The upper right corner to black 27 is a popular stereotype after the point three three.
The Black 29 expands the position on the right.
Black 31 pressed the upper right, and Tiger Maru was active in chess.
Bai 36 sharply went out to fight, and Jingshan had never been afraid of fighting.
The white 40 needs to make up the chess, and the black 41 is slightly loose, so it is better to go under pressure.
White 44 below borrows strength, and then white 50 leans out, and the chess game is tense.
Second Spectrum 1-50 (i.e. 51-100)
Black 1 punch, white 2 to press.
Black 3 directly cut off a few pieces is a bit simple, white chess quickly on the right side of the shape.
When kuro 13 was long, when the first day of sealing time came, Iyama sealed the next hand (the 64th hand in total) and handed it to Satoshi Kataoka, a member of the Rikai. On the first day, Kurokata Shiba Wild Tiger Maru 2 hours and 40 minutes, Shirakata Izuyama Yuta 4 hours 20 minutes, Iyama is obviously more cautious.
On the 7th, the continuation of the game, Iyama's sealing hand was revealed, and the white 14 points broke the black chess, forcing the black chess to work in the lower right first.
White 20 pressure, black chess is difficult to attack white chess, Jingshan has the upper hand.
Black 21 seeks a little use below, but its own chess shape is not good.
After the black 35 wrench and the white 36 long, the black chess can only be discarded.
The purpose of the Tiger Pill is to walk thick above and attack the White Chess Dragon that snakes out from the lower right.
However, the white 50 sticks, and the black chess is also very weak.
Third Spectrum 1-80 (i.e. 101-180)
When the black 7 is wrenched and the white 8 is broken, the black chess does not dare to grow out of the 9th.
White 10 and 12 are concise, black chess can not attack any benefits, and the real space has been obviously insufficient.
Black 15 below look for clues below, Iyama coped concisely.
Black 33 touched the upper left star position, tiger maru was still ready to let go, aiming at the white chess dragon.
White 50 is calm, Andiyama judges clearly, as long as the big dragon is stable.
Black chess's gains in the top left corner were not enough to turn the tide.
White 62 went to swing his eyes, and black chess had nothing to do.
Tiger Maru made a desperate bet, but the black chess piece after the white 78 could not be played at all.
White 80 rushed to find a robbery, and Tiger Pill no longer insisted.
In this game, Iyama is more stable, while Tiger Maru is impatient and has not been able to find a good pace of chess. After winning the decider, Iyama achieved a major reversal of 4-3, repelling the challenge of Shibano Tiger Maru and reaching ten consecutive championships in Ino.
The records of lianba in the battle of Benyinfang are rich, and the nine consecutive hegemons of Takakawa Katsura, the seven consecutive hegemons of Sakata Eio, the five consecutive hegemons of Ishida Yoshio, and then the ten consecutive hegemons at the peak of Zhao Zhixun have set up monuments one after another. Now, Yuta Iyama has finally caught up with Cho Anderson and become the co-holder of the highest consecutive championship record in the Japanese chess world championship. At the same time, Iyama still holds the Grand Triple Crown, and the status of Japan's first person remains unchanged.
Ten years is only a moment, Iyama's continuous firmness in the Japanese chess world is his great personal honor, and it is also the embodiment of the weak overall competitive environment of Japanese Go.
As far as the Benyinfang Battle is concerned, Zhao Zhixun has a total of 12 big records in addition to ten consecutive hegemons. Next year, the impact and transcendence of Jingshan will continue.
The young Shibano Tiger Maru has lost to Inoka in seven consecutive victories since last year, and the injury is so deep that we can only say "coming to Japan for a long time".
