The first game of the playoff has already been played. Habu(#3) beat Fujii(#6).  Habu will now play Sato(#2) on March 26  for the right to challenge Meijin Moriuchi. I don't think that you can get the games live on the Internet since there is really no sponsor for the Jun-I Sen games but I'm sure the game scores will eventually show up in some magazine or on someone's homepage.
Like Reijer said it's really too bad for Goda but his fighting spirit on the last day was truly that of a professional. Both Maruyama and Shima had already won their games before Goda had finished so he probably already knew that regardless of his result he was going to be demoted. Maruyama actually almost became an embarrassing part of shogi history. If he had lost, he would have been the first former Mejin to be demoted one season after losing his title.

Is there any information about how and when this play-off will be played?
Will there be any possibility of following it live?

Best regards,
