王将戦リーグ，羽生九段無敗維持！etc. - 増田有華さんを応援しながら英語学習＋α

本日の将棋棋戦

王将戦挑戦者決定リーグ，永瀬拓矢王座vs羽生善治九段戦，
羽生九段が勝ち，5勝0敗として，隠れマジック１。
永瀬王座は2勝2敗となり，挑戦者争いから脱落となりました。
羽生九段が踏み込んだ「８六角」から風雲急を告げる展開でした。
まだ1敗の豊島将之九段が羽生九段戦を含む三連勝で，
羽生九段vs豊島九段戦最終局再戦のプレーオフとなります。
特別対局室ではビデオ収録される対局が行われていたのではないかと
消息筋では推測しているようです。

白玲順位戦A級，中井広恵女流六段vs渡部愛女流三段戦，
女流棋士の北海道ダービー，相掛かりスタート。
後手番の渡部女流三段が恩返し的な勝利でした。
謎の女流棋士加藤圭女流二段vs甲斐智美女流五段戦は
先手番の甲斐女流五段が勝ちました。
順位戦B級，室田伊緒女流二段vs野原未蘭女流初段戦，
室田女流二段が勝ちました。室田女流二段，順位戦強いですね。

佐藤天彦九段の反則負けの件，立会人問題に言及されて，
改善の「努力目標」(笑)があげられていました。
いままで，なあなあでやっていたことが正されるきっかけとは
なりました。順位戦に関しては，自身がフリークラスで弟子のいない
森内俊之九段が重宝がられそうです(笑)。

ATP tour

本日，Masters1000パリが開幕。
日本時間午後７時開始のコート１の第１試合が西岡良仁選手の試合。
ストレート勝ちでアルカラス選手の待つ2回戦へ。
配信が楽しみになってきました。

先週末，ウィーンではメドベージェフ選手が優勝して，
ATP Finalsへの出場を決めました。
バーゼルではオジェアリアシム選手が3週連続優勝を決めました。
ATP Finalsの2つの枠をめぐって，オジェアリアシム選手，
ルブレフ選手，フリッツ選手，フルカチュ選手の闘い。
リザーブ2名を考えるとトリノに集うメンバーは決まったと言えるかも。

プレミアリーグ

アーセナル，前半は1-0でしたが，後半，爆発して，5-0で，
ノッティンガム・フォレストに勝利しました。
ノッティンガム・フォレストといえば，第１回トヨタカップの欧州代表チーム。
南米代表ナシオナル・モンテビデオに負けっちゃったけど。

CNN 10

Happy Halloween | October 31, 2022
With the U.S. Midterm elections just one week away, the main question on everyone's mind is will Democrats maintain control of Congress? Or, will Republicans take control of one or both chambers? We'll discuss how the results of this year's election could impact the next 2 years of politics in America. Then, on today's CNN 10, we head to Mars where a robotic spacecraft has completed its mission to map the red planet. And finally, on this Halloween, we break down the economics of the holiday. Just how much will Americans spend to celebrate this spooky day?
