I don't think it was just a statistical fluctuation in 2008. There were "2,323 public matches in fiscal 2008", not few matches. Maybe it is because Shogi is really balanced?
I would like to hear some comments from someone with a strong statistical knowledge.
p.s. Small sample, anyway: http://www.iggamecenter.com/stats/game95.html
Number of wins by the 1st player (excluding quits) 285 (41.91%)
Number of wins by the 2nd player (excluding quits) 357 (52.50%)
