Today's Japanese chess world has become a stage for Yuta Iyama and Keigo Yamashita to compete for supremacy, Yamashita challenged Iyama in the Chess Holy War, the Honinfang Battle, and the Qiqi Holy War, twice seven chess pieces, one five chess pieces, and together the two have to fight 19 times! The first to divide the winner and loser was the 39th chess holy battle, after Iyama led 3-0, Yamashita stubbornly chased a 3-3 draw, and finally Iniyama won 5 and a half eyes to defend the title 4-3. Regardless of the outcome of the ensuing campaign, Iyama retained his position as the "First Man of Japan". The 40th Edition of the Jihad Challenge ended on June 26, with Yuta Iyama winning the black mid-set first and taking a solid step towards a four-game winning streak.

The 70th edition of the Ben in fang challenge began in May, and Iyama won another three consecutive victories and won the match points with one blow. In the fourth game, Keigo Yamashita won back one set, and whether he could win two more games like a holy war to usher in a decisive game became the focus of attention of chess fans.

The fifth set began on June 29, reaching a 46-fold draw and ending on the first day. Facing Keigo Yamashita, who is known for his battle strength, Yuta Iyama, who is second to none in Japan, has no fear, and the two fight in the prologue, with the white chess piece gaining real profit in the upper left corner and the black chess piece being thicker. On the 30th, the game continued, and Iyama pulled out a piece of chess on the right side of the road, and the situation entered the old routine of attacking under the mountain and treating Iyama alone.

The bold Jingshan Bai 82/84 of the art master took off the chessboard above the chessboard, and Yamashita did not dare to slay the dragon, and the black 85 entered, not letting the white side all empty. At this time, Jingshan showed a strong side, and he used a strong hand and a foolish type to completely annihilate the enemy. In the end, a life-and-death catastrophe was formed here, and in the process of robbery, Yamashita attacked the white chess dragon on the right, creating another robbery under the chessboard. However, Bai Dalong was full of elasticity and robbery materials, and Yamashita lost the robbery in the upper left corner, and could not win the robbery below, until 200 hands conceded defeat.

After winning the two most important seven chess pieces, Iyama Yuta has already won the competition with Yamashita Keigo, and whether the Holy War can defend the title is only a question of whether it will be completely won. At this point, Yuta Iyama holds the three crowns of chess saint, celebrity, and Honinfang, as well as the champion of the Qi Ji zhan and the Ahan Tongshan Cup, and is still the absolute first person in Japanese Go.
