Synopsis
Failed pro shogi player "81diver" gambles at amateur clubs, living by diving into the 81 squares.
Kentaro's former shogi teacher taught him to (metaphorically) dive into the 81 squares of the shogi board. Thus, his nickname is "81diver." He has failed to enter the professional league of shogi competition. However, he continues to play the game for a living by gambling at amateur shogi clubs. (Source: MU)
