A particularly enjoyable volume in a very enjoyable series. It may seem small to some, but I really appreciated how luck and nerve were brought to the forefront. Considering how skilled the vast majority of these characters are, even Hikaru at this point, it's so Incredibly true that a lot of all this tension will really just boil down to complete chance! And yet it would still be oh so easy to play it up as pure genius on any given character's part - because that's what we (over here in north America anyway) do. We put so much pressure on ourselves to succeed when really a majority of it isn't even up to us.
And I'm not taking this personally at all lol.
Are they really ever going to guess what's really going on though? Really?
