Hoping the Law of Averages does not come to collect this meeting. Day 15 is always extra tricky and matching with you make today feel like a run in with a Sicilian on a grassy slope. Got lucky with my gambit yesterday. Still going for a little chaos, but controlled chaos today, and not that I hope you choose the wrong chalice but that my resistance is able to sneak out one more capstone shiroboshi for the ol' boy. Best of luck and a strong comeback in Nagoya.

Good luck, Kaku. I'm not happy to be makekoshi, but I'm maybe even less pleased to be in the position to potentially deny you the promotion. I have to do my best, especially since I don't want to fall too far from sanyaku, but the way things have been going, this looks like a nice matchup for you. I couldn't decide between Kinbozan and Roga for the last spot. Hope I chose wisely.
