Habu went first in the game.
I'm trying to explain the possible mate lines after the resignation diagram. After the 116.G*9c, there are two squares Sente's King can escape such as 8e and 7c. In case of 8e, the mating line will be P*8d, K-anywhere, G*8e(mate). In case of K-7c, it will be G*6c, K-7b, G-6b, K-8b, G-9b(mate)
Habu is now in the Ouza title match with Sato as well. It is a 3 points match. As of today, Habu leads Sato by 2-0. The 3rd game will be held on Oct. 1.
