Both Yamashita Keigo and Iyama Yuta ended up with 6-1 score at the end of the league, so a challenger decision's game was set to be played today. Many thought that Iyama will win the game, however, Yamashita showed his power as one of the four emperors by beating Iyama Meijin, thus winning the challenger's seat.
Since November 2009 until now, Yamashita has been playing in 4 title matches. Starting from Tengen (where he won the title from Cho U by 3-2 score), Kisei (he lost his title by 4-1 to Cho U), Judan (he is in losing 2-0 position against, again, Cho U), and then Honinbo (which first game will be played in the May 11,12).
Let see how thing will going on for Yamashita this time.
