増田有華ファンが英語学習に悪戦苦闘する日記

千葉七段,大魚を逃がす!etc.

本日の将棋棋戦

ABEMAで配信があった棋王戦挑戦者決定トーナメント,
羽生善治九段vs千葉幸生七段戦,千葉七段が見事な指し回しで,
羽生九段をあと一歩まで追い込んだのですが,2八飛打ではなくて,
3六銀で,ひっくり返り,その後は,羽生九段が危なげなく,
相手玉を寄せきりました。千葉涼子女流四段が評価値がああああと
叫んでいたのではないかと想像してしまいました。
羽生九段は次局は佐藤康光九段との対局。
ABEMAの配信で度々顔が映っていた屋敷伸之九段vs阿久津主税八段戦は,
阿久津八段の大逆転勝ちでした。阿久津八段の次局は,
大注目カード,里見香奈女流四冠との対局となります。

本日は球数多めで,5回3/2無失点,11奪三振での降板,
チームは,1-4で勝って,7勝目ですね。
