The game started on Monday 26 and after a few hours they stopped and continued the next day. Every player have 8 hours to play so it can be very long games, it’s not unusual that a player uses 2 or 3 hours thinking the next move.
Habu and Kimura chose the Side Pawn Captura Opening. This jouseki allows a very fierce attack for both players that usually leads to a fast end of the game. After exchange bishops on 5五 (5e), move 42, Habu got a very strong rook, later Kimura had no other options than exchange the rook for a knight and a lance. After Kimura had his King surrounded by Habu’s pieces he didn’t have more options than to surrender.
