Famous Shogi Games: YONENAGA vs OYAMA (Jul. 23rd, 1982)

[@HIDETCHI]

Oyama passed away from cancer in 1992 when he was 69. He's the greatest shogi player who stayed in 'A-class' until the year of his death despite suffering from cancer for years, while younger masters Yonenaga and Nakahara fell out of A-class in their 50s. He even challenged Kiou Title when he was 66. Total count of games: 1433 win - 781 loss Total count of winning major titles: 80 terms 'A-class' participation: 44 terms in a row

[@HIDETCHI]

Thanks so much for that. I really appreciate your support.

Ermm for the live at around 8.28, does anything think that a gold drop to 3e is possibly viable to bring the rook away?

[@13191215]

What is the line that would cause Yonenaga to be mated if he where to take the silver with the gold in the last move?

[@HIDETCHI]

The player at bottom left is black, Kunio Yonenaga.

[@HIDETCHI]

It will be a brinkmate anyway.

[@tschobbu]

At the position where black resigned; Couldn't he move his King to 9h, trying to escape?

[@VedanthB9]

tschoppi If King 9h, then white moves Silver to 8i unpromoted. King has to capture it, and it again leads to the same checkmate as Hidetchi mentions.
