TV Tokyo anchor Sawada Rika was saying to the national audience:

"The staff of the Newcomer Shogi Tournament are already notifying the players via broadcast to enter the venue one after another."

"In the first round of the competition, there were a total of 2,048 participating players."

"However, after the first round ended, half of the personnel have already been eliminated, leaving 1,024 participating players."

"And the second round is also divided into 4 competition zones."

"Each zone is also divided into 3 sessions."

"But this time, the number of participants in each session is about 86 players, which is half as many as last time."

"And now, the second session of the second round is about to begin; it's bound to be another fierce battle!"

"I heard that among the players in this second session, there are quite a few formidable ones; regarding this, let's have the two commentators in the live broadcast room explain it in detail for everyone."

At this moment.
