However, Jowa played a sequence of three brilliant tesuji that turned the tide of the match in his favour, ultimately leading to black's resignation after 246 moves.
According to Invincible, Akaboshi's health was already in decline when the game began, but after it had ended he coughed up blood over the board and collapsed.
