Akari invites Hikaru to the Haze Junior High Festival, where a Junior High Go Tournament is taking place. After watching a match where Kimihiro Tsutsui, the head of the Haze Junior High Go Club, is holding a competition, Hikaru learns that the prize is a book called Assorted Tsumego (Life and death Go problems) from Toya Mejin's Matches. Sai desires to win the book, but first he must get past the shogi captain Tetsuo Kaga. Their game actually followed The Famous Killing Game of 1926 between Honinbo Shusai and Karigane Junichi. Hikaru makes a fatal mistake in the match, causing much of his stones to be captured.
