What’s going on in his head… The reaction speed is such that even such doubts arise.On July 22nd, the match between Team Fujii and Team Watanabe, the 3rd E-League qualifying match of the shogi world’s early-pointing group match “ABEMA Tournament 2023”, was broadcast. Souta Fujii Ryuo, Meijin (21), who has been very active since the first tournament, which was an individual competition, lost in the preliminary rounds last year, but is doing great this year. If you win all three games once morest Team Senda, you will win two games once morest Team Watanabe. They are undefeated in the preliminaries and have five straight wins. Due to the depth of his research, he was quick to make judgments following becoming a forceful battle, and his lack of gaps stood out. He went so far as to say that his thought process is 10 times faster than humans.

Today, many shogi players are using shogi software (AI) to study the game from the beginning, increasing their knowledge more broadly and deeply. It’s not uncommon for both sides to be familiar with the latest model, and even in official matches with long time limits, it’s not uncommon to be able to advance to dozens of moves without spending much time. However, no matter how much you hammer it into your brain, it takes a certain amount of time to accurately draw out that memory. This is because the more accurate the research, the more devastating defeat awaits you when you pull out the wrong memories.

Team Fujii welcomed the 5th station with a big lead with a score of 4-0. Ryuo Fujii, Meijin, entered the match to decide a straight-set win, and his opponent was Yuki Sasaki, 8th Dan, a new A-class shogi player who also fought in the third game. Sasaki 8th Dan’s first game started with the popular tactic “Kakugawari”, which is favored by Ryuo Fujii, Meijin, and many other rookies. It is also famous for the fact that every shogi player has been researched quite deeply because of its popularity.

Then, Sasaki 8th Dan, perhaps thinking that he would find the pace of Ryuo Fujii and Meijin even a little, chose ▲5 Hattama with some ingenuity for the 27th move. However, just 4 seconds following this, Ryuo Fujii, Meijin, pointed straight to △ 4 four steps. The one who did not miss this spectacle was Watanabe 9-dan, who was painfully familiar with Ryuo Fujii and Meijin’s abilities, having fought in numerous title fights.

Watanabe 9th Dan This kind of thing (▲5 eight balls) gets reactions right away, doesn’t it? If it’s normal, I want you to freeze a little like “what’s that?” how can i pull it out

Even though it was early in the game, I mightn’t hide my surprise that I might not hide my surprise that I was responding without giving much thought to the situation when I made a mistake and suddenly lost the situation.

Watanabe 9-Dan Can you draw out (memory) with such a rare fighting style? There is a possibility that the thinking circuit there is moving regarding 10 times faster than an ordinary person. Don’t you think regarding it for tens of seconds to remember?

Leo Okabe, 4th Dan (24), a junior who was listening to the story, just nodded. Precisely because it’s a super fast-moving game, she chooses even the slightest troublesome move and tries to take advantage not only of the situation but also of her time, but if it’s returned as a span in an instant, it’s better to put some ingenuity into it. It’s a scene where she’s put under pressure not by the content of her moves, but by her reaction speed.

There were many comments from fans who had the same feeling regarding Watanabe’s 9-dan points, such as “Souta’s memory is bad,” “The engine he’s loaded is different,” “Interesting consideration,” “Nabe-san feels Sota’s strength firsthand,” and “As expected, Nabe also recognizes it.” In the match, Ryuo Fujii and Meijin, who took control of the pace in the final stage, won a comfortable victory, and the team won straight 5-0. It was a match that highlighted the various strengths of the top shogi players in the shogi world.
