Meijin Title : 1-0 for the title holder Takao Shinji

Meijin Title started yesterday: title holder Takao Shinji won the first game by 4.5 points against the challenger and previous Meijin title holder, Cho U.

Takao built a huge moyo starting from the lower side, and that turned in the end into a huge territory.

It was interesting to see Takemiya giving the public game commentary - he must have been very happy with Black’s strategy, since he’s the one who’s name is associated with large moyo strategies.

Next game: September 19, 20.
