He also described the importance of reading an opponent not from his or her own perspective, but from that of their opponent. In response to a question from a student, Habu said, \u201cIn shogi, hard work is more important than natural talent. There are young people with a natural affinity for shogi, but many of them cannot become professionals. The career of a professional shogi player is long and requires a great deal of perseverance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2015\/10\/T01_6783.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33914 aligncenter\" alt=\"\u5b66\u751f\u306e\u8cea\u554f\u306b\u7b54\u3048\u308b\u7fbd\u751f\u5584\u6cbb\u6c0f\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2015\/10\/T01_6783-610x404.jpg\" width=\"610\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2015\/10\/T01_6783-610x404.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2015\/10\/T01_6783-2000x1324.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">When asked about if one should think logically or go with their intuition when unsure of their next move, Habu said, \u201cNo matter the move you make, it\u2019s impossible to find out if your other choices would have been successful.
