Ketsurui Ju Ban Shobu Tsuzuke (P+D)

[Machine Translation] Hitomi Yamaguchi, who was one of the most famous Shogi players in the literary world, challenges to a serious game of "Juban-sho" in "Kaku-ochi" against top professionals such as Kunio Naito, Ensuke Ouchi, and Yoshio Kimura, the Eimei Meijin. This is a sequel to a funny and heart-wrenching autobiography for those who love Shogi, those who are attracted to the world of competition, and those who think about a man's life. Included is a fierce battle with Ichizo Kato, the popular "Hifumin" (8-dan at the time of the battle), who is said to be "the greatest genius since Jinmu" even today. How did it end? Akihiro Miyata, the editor of the magazine at the time of serialization, contributed a special afterword.
