The 14-year-old shogi player who became the youngest-ever professional in Japan has defeated one of the game's top masters.

Sota Fujii became a pro player of the chess-like Japanese board game last October at the age of 14 years and 2 months, when he was promoted to the rank of 4th-dan.

On Sunday, an Internet TV channel carried an unofficial match between Fujii and highest-ranking 9th-dan shogi master Yoshiharu Habu.
