The coverage of the title match is preceded by a substantial account of the history of the Meijin title. The games themselves are also given with their atmospheric content and biographical details.

The first four games are presented with traditional commentaries, but the momentous fifth game - regarded as being of unusually high quality - combines tradition with AI analysis, which confirms the quality.
