増田有華ファンが英語学習に悪戦苦闘する日記

女流王位戦,カトモモ連敗,追い込まれる!etc.

本日の将棋棋戦

タイトル戦ということで,午前9時始まり。フラッシュを使ったサイトで,
棋譜を見るので,Apple系はだめで,パソコンで経過を追っていました。
加藤桃子女流三段が先手番,西山朋佳女流三冠との対局では,
先手番は勝ったので,期待していたのですが,里見香奈女流四冠に,
中盤からは悪くする一方で,完敗でしたね。これで,対里見女流四冠,
カトモモの8連敗となってしまいました。
昨日の順位戦A級では,羽生善治九段が後手番で菅井竜也八段の
中飛車居飛車穴熊で破っていただけに,それにあやかって,
勝って欲しかったなあ。

ABEMAでの中継で,千葉涼子女流四段がいつもの「幸生さんラブ」で,
紹介された棋王戦予選,千葉幸生七段vs金井恒太六段との対局は,
角換わり,先手番の金井六段が危なげなく勝ちました。
千葉七段は金井六段に初黒星となってしまいましたね。

銀河戦で,増田康宏六段が「二歩」で反則負けだったようです。

抽選,あたっていましたが,女子会と違って,平均年齢相当高いので,
すごい画面になるはず。
