takodori: Did Watanabe win that game? In 72 moves? I don't read Japanese, so it is sometimes difficult to tell from a final position who has won. It would seem that Kimura had an advantage because of all his pieces in hand. This is one of the aspects of shogi that I am still learning. I always think the player with more peices in hand should win- perhaps I am too dependent on western chess- where a player in that position would most likely win.
