Review of Jyouji Hayashi, Daniel Huddleston (trans), “Concession” in Hirotaka Osawa, ed., Intelligence, Artificial and Human: Eight Science Fiction Tales by Japanese Authors, (AI x SF Project, [2019]): 31-36 — More information here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman. (Read the review of the anthology).
Mr. Naganuma is playing shogi against the brilliant AI, Victorious; he won the first game, and now the second game begins.
This is a straightforward story about man vs. machine, with an interesting emphasis on the question of what it means to really play a game.
