| S4NKT: well you can't take the king in the program, you can only checkmate, which is basically the same thing, do people take eachothers kings in shogi? why doesn't the opposing player just give up when his king will be taken on the next move? The rules in all the chess blitz tournaments that I participate in are that you don't say check and if the opponent doesn't see check then you can take his king and win, I don't know whether this is an international blitz rule I not, I do find it slightly annoying however, sometimes I lose games because I miss a check.. |

| ughaibu: In professional play it's a loss to leave the king in "check", at amateur level it gets taken. Naturally a player will resign if they're "checkmated". |
|

| S4NKT: I don't think it's a loss, it's an illegal move, and the opposing players gets time added to their clock (this is at least what happens in my club, which I guess is professional since there's a few 2500 players). |
|

| ughaibu: In shogi an illegal move loses, quite different from chess where an illegal move is impossible. |

| ughaibu: Habu was among the winners in the recent 16th "Japan best dressed eyes". There's a nice photo in the January issue of Shougi Sekai with Habu on stage with the six co-winners, including a pro-wrestler and an actress. |

| tacticsjokerxxx: I saw an entertaining game between Yoshiharu and Taimanov, Yoshi lets Taimanov capture a hanging knight just to manouvere his other knight to f6 and deliver check, however this achieves nothing, the game ended in a draw, however during two points in the game Taimanov had mate in 6!, too bad it's not here. Anyway Yoshi's a cool player. |

| IT4LICO: Here is good analises (in italian) of Well-Habu game, GM I.Roger called it "game of the year"! http://www.messaggerie.it/partite/g... |

| Mameluk: I was currently trying to read some older german Schach in a club, and there were probably the same annotations as those italian here, very nice. 18... Bxh2!! called the right shogi move:) |

| EmperorAtahualpa: Habu is Japan's second highest rated chess player, behind Akira Watanabe. |

| Zebra: <Sitzkrieg>: <It is a pity the game Wells-Habu is not included here.> I have submitted it. Hopefully it will soon be on line. |
|

| Atking: EmperorAtahualpa. It seems that in this site Mr Habu is already the highest with 2382. |
|
| Jul-05-06 |
| Confuse: wow i came to see if this guy had any games on this website and wow, for a professional shogi player he sure plays a lot of chess! |
|

| GamerMan: Actually FIDE ranks Habu above Watanabe by 41 Elo points, though that can change very quickly with such a small difference . And there is checkmate in shogi, it is only in larger versions such as Chu Shogi that checkmate is removed (in fact, they have a special rule about checkmate [can't be done with a pawn drop]). Habu is pretty good for only playing twice a month (maximum twice a week) |

Here is the game:Nikolic-Habu. I think it should be included,too. |

| Ichiro: http://monsieur.ddo.jp/chess/Bruxel...
You can find games here,too. |

| Atking: For the chess players who are interested by shogi. The first game of the RyuO will be played between Watanabe (Title older) and Habu (Meijin) the 18th and 19th october at the Hotel Meridien Etoile in Paris. |
|
| Sep-27-08 |
| slomarko: meanwhile Habu just lost the deciding 7th game of the Oi match against Fukaura. |
|
| Sep-27-08 |
| Atking: Yes obviously Mr Habu had and still has a very hard schedule and wasn't able to win this game. He is playing many matchs against differents opponents in the same time!? In shogi world that's possible. A game is played in one or two days but between 2 games players have few days before they meet again. In case of Mr Habu, the days between he is playing another match! He is almost the only one who could challenge in the year 5~6 titles on the 7 possibles. If he wins the title which will start in Paris in october. Mr Habu will hold 5 titles. That means that all the others professionnels will have only the remaining 2 titles... Enough clear about Mr Habu shogi domination. Nearly 72% of wins |

| slomarko: <He is playing many matchs against differents opponents in the same time!?>
he can play maximum 2 title matches at the time. given that he holds most titles he doesn't have to play the qualifying leagues. |
|

| MMan: Haven't heard much about Mr. Habu recently. Is he still playing chess or now sticking to shogi? |
|
| Sep-25-09 |
| Atking: Habu won yesterday and kept 4 titles on 7. When one imagine that got the final step of 2 others the year of 5 crowns may be soon realised.
<slomarko> I didn't see your answer. Yes he can play only 2 major titles in the same time. But there is some minor one as NHK tournament (He won it this year). The problem is Habu goes throught all the process of the selection and lost mostly at the end when some strong players lost before. Adding he is sollicited for books conferences more than the others to say 10 top players put together. That's great.
<MMan> I hear he is still training. Maybe his professionnal schedule doesn't offer to go to a foreigner country to play chess. |
