Hane Naoki Wins First Game in Honinbo Title Defense
Hane Naoki won the first game in this year’s Honinbo title match by 2.5 points against the challenger Takao Shinji.
Interestingly, last year’s Honinbo title match was played by these same players, but with roles reversed. Last year Takao Shinji was the title holder and won the first 3 games. Hane Naoki put up an extraordinary next and won all of the following four games.
Here is the game record.
The next game will be played on May 27, 28.
