The 84th Meijin Title Match, the most prestigious title match in the shogi world, is finally set to begin this year.

Tetsuro Itotani 8-dan, who has a record of winning the Ryuo title once, challenges Souta Fujii Meijin, the youngest player ever to win the Meijin title.

Itotani 8-dan earned the right to challenge just one term after returning to Class A, and this will be his first time competing in the Meijin seven-game title match.

Also, it has been about 40 years since a shogi player serving as a director has become a challenger.

The two have played many games against each other, but Fujii Meijin has a significant lead in their head-to-head record, making him a formidable opponent for the challenger.

Nevertheless, Itotani 8-dan has won numerous fierce battles to reach the stage of the seven-game match.

Will the reigning champion, Fujii Meijin, who symbolizes modern shogi, defend his title, or will Itotani 8-dan seize his long-awaited Meijin title?

Please enjoy the heated battles of the seven-game match that will decide the pinnacle of the shogi world in real time.
