Let's get back to the video:
Game #1 - Takemiya vs Yamashiro Hiroshi. In this seemingly simple game, Takemiya demonstrates incredible flexibility with Moyos, unafraid to abandon one to make another.
Game #2 - Takemiya vs Iwata Tatsuaki. Takemiya gives up solid territory to prepare for the future, showing his willingness to forfeit immediate gains for long-term strategy.
Game #3 - Takemiya vs Cho Chikun. Starting from identical openings, this large-scale moyo game shows Takemiya's mastery of this style. He also plays the acclaimed "Tesuji of the Year" in this back-and-forth battle.
Game #4 - Takemiya vs Rin Kaiho. Although Rin disrupts his San Ren Sei strategy, Takemiya still builds an enormous Moyo with his signature cosmic style and claims victory.
Game #5 - Takemiya vs Otake Hideo. In this classic game, Takemiya wins by slightly better judgment, extending just a bit more than his equally matched opponent. A testament to his impeccable cosmic style.
