Habu has won the Meijinsen

Mainichi Daily News article

Yesterday was the second half of the 7th and final game of the Meijinsen between Yoshiharu Habu and Masataka Goda. At the beginning of the game, the score was 3-3, and Habu defeated Goda impressively yesterday, defending the Meijin title for another year.

You can replay the game here.

In addition, I also recommend reading Takodori-san's commentaries from his Twitter regarding the game. You can find duplicates of his Twitter entries on his blog:

More basic shogi posts

I've created a thread on the pieces in Shogi in the Basics forum. You can find it here.

In the Shogi world, it looks like Meijin Yoshiharu Habu, who is probably the best player in Shogi, may lose his Meijin title this year. Masataka Goda 9dan has taken the lead with 3 wins and 2 losses; the Meijin match lasts 7 games. You can find more information on Takodori-san's blog.
