女流王位戦第4局

先手番の里見香奈女流四冠が中飛車，
後手番の西山朋佳白玲女王が三間飛車の相振り飛車，
里見女流四冠が的確な指し回しで，最後は西山女流二冠が，
形作りで首を差し出した形でのきれいな終局でした。
6月13日のマイナビ女子オープン最終局は振り駒は重要で，
西山女流二冠は先手番が必須ですね。

女流順位戦C級

昨日の時点では，清水市代女流七段の勝敗がわからず，昇級争いが
完全に把握できない状態だったのですが，清水女流七段の勝利により，
最終局前にはひとりも昇級者が決まらず，最終局に持ち越しとなりました。
そして，室谷由紀女流三段にも大逆転での昇級の可能性がでてきました。
むろやん，奇跡の大逆転昇級が実現するのか，見ものですね。
また，残留争いも熾烈になっています。
