Iyama Won Second Game by A Half Point

The second game of the 37th Tengen sen met with a close game. Iyama Yuta who played won the game by 0.5 point, giving him the lead of the title series by 2-0!

Iyama showed an interesting play with black 77 to black 89. He used the aji of his stone to create a thickness. Yuki Satoshi played a clever reducing move with white 120 and 122, resulting in a close game for both players.  I think white 242 is the losing move. White should play at A2 instead, it seems that white will win by 0.5 point that way.

Will Iyama win Tengen as a redemption on his Meijin's lost?
The third game will be played on November 17. Will Iyama win he title at the next game, or will Yuki survived the series? The third game will be crucial. Don't miss it guys!

Here is the game record:
