増田有華ファンが英語学習に悪戦苦闘する日記

棋士編入試験,早くもカド番に!etc.

本日の将棋棋戦

棋士編入試験第2局,岡部玲央四段vs里見香奈女流五冠戦は,
里見女流五冠の先手番で中飛車vs居飛車穴熊の対抗形。
午後5時前から見始めたのですが,見始めたときはたしか
ABEMA AIの形勢判断では里見女流五冠が80%だったはず。
岡部四段の「6九角打ち」に対しての「2七金」が敗着扱い。
感想戦でも検討していましたが,「5二歩」「5八歩」で受けていれば,
まだまだ大丈夫だったようです。
次局は後手番なので,三連敗で終わりの可能性も出てきました。

新人王戦準決勝,阿部光瑠七段vs黒田堯之五段戦,
黒田五段が逆転勝ちで,服部慎一郎四段との決勝進出を決めました。

昨日の順位戦A級,稲葉陽八段vs豊島将之九段戦は,
豊島九段が勝ち,全勝だった稲葉八段が負けたために,
2勝1敗で6名が並ぶリーグ戦序盤となりました。
もしかしたら,9位の藤井聡太竜王五冠vs10位の稲葉八段戦から
はじまるプレーオフとか起こるかもしれませんね。

And finally, our own Coy Wire chats with two sports icons about their secrets to success.
