I will report the trend of Shogi society on October 2006.
1. Professional shogi society
1-1. Major 7 title matches
Title matches
| title | status | Japanese article with pictures |
| 19th Ryuo-sen | WATANABE Akira Ryuo 0-2 SATO yasumitsu | more |
1-2. other title matches
In 27th JT JAPAN series tournament (knock-out tournament), SATO Yasumitsu and GODA Masataka will play on 26th November. The winner is the champion.
In 14th Ginga-sen (aka. Galaxy-tournament, knock-out tournament), HABU yoshiharu wins over KOBAYASHI Hiroshi.
In 37th Shinjino-sen (knock-out tournament), ITODANI Tetsuro 4-dan wins over YOKOYAMA Hiroaki 4-dan and gets the championship.
When ITODANI joined in this tournament, he was 3-dan (Of course, in “Shoreikai”) and not professional player. So, it is be a remarkable record. It is the 2nd time that player who is/was 3-dan (when he joins the tournament) gets the championship. The first one is MORIUCHI Toshiyuki.
