Segawa becomes a really pro player

Salaried worker-turned professional shogi player Shoji Segawa 4-dan is promoted to C2 class from free class today.

Segawa became a professional shogi player after passing exceptional professional examination in November 2005. He fulfilled the requirement condition with today's victory.

It is a great achievement. And he paves the way to Meijin.

I think he became a really professional shogi player. He gave a hope and a dream to shogi fans. That's wonderful.
