本日の将棋棋戦
清麗戦挑戦者決定戦は渡部愛女流四段が加藤桃子女流四段に勝ち，
清麗戦タイトル戦初登場となりました。山口恵梨子女流三段が記録係でした。
渡部女流四段のほうが加藤女流四段よりも福間香奈女流五冠相手には
いい勝負になるのではないかと思い，本戦は渡部愛女流四段を応援しました。
渡部女流四段は本年度はまだ負けなし八連勝中(昨年度から十連勝中)なので，
以前，福間女流五冠からタイトルを奪取した女流王位戦の再現ができるのか，
楽しみなタイトル戦となりました。
王将戦一次予選決勝，岡部怜央五段が石井健太郎七段に勝ち，
二次予選進出を決めました。おめでとうございます。
棋王戦予選準決勝，山川四段が郷田真隆九段に勝ち，
小山直希四段が待つ決勝へ。
同じく棋王戦予選準決勝，高田明浩五段が出口若武六段に勝ち，
船江恒平七段が待つ決勝へ。
