The second stage of the oldest "Meijin Match" of the eight major shogi titles began in Shizuoka City. Sota Fujii (2), who is the youngest person to win a "meijin," is aiming for a fourth consecutive title.
The winner of the second round is expected to be decided in the afternoon of the 3th, and it will be interesting to see if Rokukaku Fujii continues to win back-to-back matches, or whether Meito Watanabe returns the wins and losses to five draws.
