本日の将棋棋戦
王座戦一回戦，羽生善治九段vs飯島栄治七段の対局，
ABEMAで配信され，夕食後，見ていたのですが，あっさりと，
飯島七段が勝つかと見えたところから，かなり手数がかかる展開と
なりましたが，最終盤，羽生九段のうっかりがあり，なんとか，
飯島七段が逃げ切りました。これで，羽生九段は予選に回りますね。
最近の飯島七段の充実ぶりには本当に驚かされます。
本譜は後手番での横歩取りでの勝利でした。
岡田美術館杯女流名人戦リーグ，上田初美女流四段vs加藤桃子女流三段の
対局，カトモモ，勝ちましたね。全勝で，リーグを駆け抜けて，
里見香奈女流四冠に，こちらの棋戦でも挑戦してほしいところですね。
本譜は後手番上田女流四段の角道を閉ざす形での四間飛車の対抗形でした。
