[@Walthanar]

I am 11 years late, but this game is incredible and your explanation and analysis are fantastic! Thanks a lot, I'm learning so much watching your videos!

[@a4ashiro438]

Yeah

[@RayVitoles]

tanigawa deep analysing in endgame is amazing,but habu was young back in the days..I m still a fan of Habu's attacking style

[@adamasadis6193]

I was really shocked when you show us this middle blocks

[@tymelomokepon5807]

wow this is so amazing its like a dramatic film scene seeing these analysis of yours, truely amazing

[@ishiotoko]

masterpiece

[@OneyePL]

Middle blocks are not hard to find but all this counting - mate or not mate ^^".... a lot of hard training. Great game!

[@ALF8892]

Truly brilliant from both players

[@HIDETCHI]

Blocking it with a gold is not a bad idea. The problem with doing that is that you'll lose one very useful piece that you could otherwise use to mate the other king.

[@exilestreethawk6822]

Wow! Incredible

[@anseilen]

wow (OoO) So harahara-dokidoki in final phase!

[@voiceofben7338]

not enough people play shogi...

[@kidrenegade8525]

20 million in Japan

[@aerialsnack]

Were the rules different back then? If I remember correctly, you can't drop a pawn that immediately checks the king?

[@zazenboy]

The rule prohibits mating with pawn drops, check is allowed.

[@Gerstein1]

a mate in 27 tsumi actually appeared in a game! wow (Not really a tsumi problem though, not all pieces in hand were used) Either way, amazing! I'd like to see microcosmos in a game :P

[@Japanesechesslover]

I was 2 years old at that time.... lol

[@vyli1]

I am not sure what is his nickname but very often Habu makes incredible moves noone else could have think of and those are called "habu's magic"

[@pyourk]

i have a noob question, when tanigawa drops that rook to 7i, personally i think i would have dropped a gold to block. if anything, it at leasts prevetns a silver drop on the same square... is this a bad move?

[@NovaCyn]

Another very late question... What is the name of habu-mejin's style? (if any) He is my favorite player, he is so brilliant :D

[@abhijeetghodgaonkar7720]

Nice game yo

[@n3mon3mo]

what is the mating move on the habu side,,,? is that habu really don't have anyway to avoid it?

[@a4ashiro438]

Yeah He Silver Can Promote But Black King Can Take It And It's No Mate Again
