増田有華ファンが英語学習に悪戦苦闘する日記

王位戦第3局第1日目!etc.

本日の将棋棋戦

王位戦第3局第1日目,木村一基王位の封じ手で終わりました。
先手番藤井聡太棋聖が初手7六歩と突いて,矢倉へ。
ABEMA,SHOGI AIが表示項目が増えていましたね。

岡田美術館杯女流名人戦香川愛生女流三段vs山根ことみ女流二段戦,
正直,山根女流二段が余裕で勝つと思っていたのですが,あらまあ。
先手番香川女流三段三間飛車vs向かい飛車の相振り飛車でした。
山根女流二段,序盤でかなり悪くしていました(居玉)。
終盤力なら,山根女流二段>>>香川女流三段だけに,残念でした。
もう若手では,小髙佐季子女流1級に野原美蘭アマ(女流1級)との
高校生対決を制してもらって,覚醒するのを待つしかないのだろうか?
