KUSHIDA is a famous "Furibisha" player , especially he is good at "Shiken Bisha" . In addition , he doesn't use "FUJII system " . So his "Shiken Bisha" is very traditional and standard . In this game he faked "FUJII system" , but his King run into "Mino gakoi" .

Many Shogi professional players think "Ibisha Anaguma" is very effective and perhaps best tactics to beat (closed style ; P-4d type) "Furi Bisha" include "Shiken Bisha" .
In this game , HORIGUCHI also tried making "Ibisha Anaguma" .
