Although the revival of Japanese Go still seems to be far away, although Yuta Iyama's dominance in the Japanese chess world is still solid, but this year's major Japanese chess battles have killed a few dark horses, which makes people look forward to it. Born in 1995, Kemi Honmu won the right to challenge Beninfang, and Shibano Tiger Maru, born in 1999, won the Dragon Star Battle and the Rookie King Battle Championship, both bringing a fresh wind.
Born in 1999 and only 18 years old this year, Yuta Rokuura, who was born in 1999 with Shibano Tiger Maru, was even more obscure before, but he ran wild on a dark horse at the Akan Kiriyama Cup, and after reaching the round of 16 in this tournament, he beat Nobuaki Yasai, Cho Ji-hoon and Yamada Norizo in a row to reach the final.
Born in Nagoya, Yuta Rokuura was a member of The Kokudan Gate of Taisho Haone, who joined the Japanese Chess Academy In 2014 and belonged to the Central Headquarters of the Japan Chess Academy, whose previous best result was only the runner-up in the Hiroshima Aluminum Cup Wakasu Battle in the year of entering the stage, and participated in two global cup world u20 tournaments, without outstanding performance.
Competing with Yuta Rokuura for this year's Akan Kiriyama Cup is a takao shinji celebrity. Takao has been forced into a desperate situation by Yuta Iyama at the Celebrity Challenge, and the prospects for defending his title are bleak, and it would be a great comfort to win the Ahan Kiriyama Cup. In the Ahan Tongshan Cup, Takao Shinji won consecutive victories over Liu Shifu, Lin Hanjie and Xu Jiayuan. After Japan's first man, Yuta Iyama, defeated Zhang Xu in the first round, he was eliminated by Yamada Inori Sansei in the quarterfinals.

First spectrum 1-50
The final was led by Takao Shinji, and the final of the Japan Ahan KiritoYama Cup took 1 and a half hours per side and read the seconds once every 60 seconds. The person who served as the founder of the bureau was Zhang Xujiuduan, who also served as a large-scale lecturer.
Takao started with the Chinese stream, and by the time of the Black 15, the two sides were upright and had the feeling of returning to the past.
White 16 hit positive, Rokuura Yuta showed the vitality of young people.
Black 19 is fixed by the bottom, white 20 is calm, and black 23 needs to make up a hand.
White 26 chess, black chess is not easy to attack.
Black 33 turned around and dismantled on the upper side, and White 34 touched the lower right corner, sharp.
Black 35 below counterattack, white chess turned to take the horn, the field big.
After the white 50 turns, if the black chess cannot make a strong attack on the peripheral white chess, it will face a difficult situation.
Second Spectrum 1-50 (i.e. 51-100)
Black 1 still has to be blocked, and here it is turned by white chess to be unable to stand it.
White 2 reinforces the midfield, and black 3 and 5 are the first hands.
Black 9 below borrows to chase white chess pieces, expanding the lower and upper positions.
White 14, 16 severe, Rokuura Yuta first broke the upper side.
After the white 20 was pressed, the black chess piece could only try to encircle the bottom.
Black 25, 27 here to make up the chess, to prevent the white chess to do the eye, the number of eyes itself is also large, but the white 30 counterattack left upper black two sons, the first hand to go thick center, and then the white 36 first hand back, white 42 tiger supplement, the upper black chess almost no eye number, Rokuura Yuta situation optimistic.
Black 43 point angle test hand, black 45 fly, white 46 off first to guard the lower left corner, huge.
Bai 48 is a pleasant official, and Black 49 refuses to let Bai Qi play the tiger first.
Third Spectrum 1-50 (i.e. 101-150)
After the white 2 and 4 dig the stick, the high tail takes off first, exchanges two hands in the upper left corner, and then returns to the black 9 position to block.
The black space below is still not small, but the overall side is empty, and the high tail situation is pessimistic.
White 10 jumps are concise, and Rokuura Yuta operates safely.
In the upper left corner, there is a means of robbery, and the black 17 is better than walking 18 positions.
Black 25 pulls tenacious all the way.
Rokuura Yutayuki is very stable and ensures that the mid-belly dragon does not have problems.
Black 35, 37 do robbery, Takao's last attempt.
Fourth Spectrum 1-60 (i.e. 151-210)
When Black 15 pounced on the robbery, White 16 was robbed, and Rokuura Yuta judged clearly.
Although the black chess piece has gained in the lower left corner, the overall situation is basically fixed, and the black chess piece obviously cannot be attached.
After the high tail tenaciously ended, when the white 48 was pulled, the black 49 pounced in order to leave the golden rooster an independent means.
White 52 Sticky and Black 53 Jump get one each.
After the white 60 pull, the black chessboard face count is insufficient, and the high tail gentleman throws the ball.
Yuta Rokuura became a blockbuster, and with his outstanding performance, takao Sōji celebrity was helpless, winning the championship for the first time, and with this, he was directly promoted to seven dans, becoming another young chess player who excites Japanese chess fans. Yuta Rokuura became the third youngest player in The Japanese chess world to win the unrestricted chess championship (18 years and 5 months at the time of winning the championship), behind Yuta Iyama (then 16 years and 4 months) who won the Ahan Kiriyama Cup in 2005, and Shibano Tiger Maru (who was 17 years and 8 months old at the time) who won the Dragon Star Wars championship this year.
Yuta Rokuura will play against Yukashi in the China-Japan Ahan Kiriyama Cup this year, which is also a real test of him.
Takao Shinji failed to win the championship, and the celebrity position is also in danger, and it seems that 2017 will not leave him with good memories.
