Ya Ya 8-dan defeats Sota Fujii in Kumamoto Shogi tournament

In the JT Pro Official Shogi Series held at Kumamoto Castle Hall, Ya Ya 8-dan secured a victory against Sota Fujii in 108 moves during a rematch. This win allows Ya Ya 8-dan to advance to the semifinals, where he is scheduled to face Takuya Nagase 9-dan.

The tournament, designated as the Kumamoto Reconstruction Support Match, was organized to provide support to those affected by the July Kumamoto earthquake. As part of this initiative, a donation of 2.1 million yen—calculated at 10,000 yen per move from the total 210 moves played in the drawn game—will be contributed to Kumamoto Prefecture.
