The most prestigious title match in the shogi world, the '84th Meijin Tournament 7-Game Match,' is finally kicking off.

Challenging Souta Fujii Meijin, the youngest player to ever win the Meijin title, is Tetsuro Itodani 8-dan, who has previously won the Ryuo title once.

Itodani 8-dan earned the right to challenge just one term after returning to the A-class, and this will be his first time on the stage of the Meijin 7-game match.

Furthermore, it has been approximately 40 years since a shogi player serving as a board member has become the challenger.

The two have played many games so far, but Fujii Meijin has a significant lead in their head-to-head record, making him a formidable wall for the challenger.

Nevertheless, Itodani 8-dan has won numerous fierce battles to reach the 7-game match stage.

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

Please enjoy the heated battles of the 7-game match that will decide the pinnacle of the shogi world in real time.
