CHUZA　is well known as an inventor of "Hachi-Go Hi senpou" , so this tactics is also called "CHUZA Bisha" . He is an "Ibisha" player and likes "Yokofutori" and "Aigakari" game .

In the other hand , MORIUCHI is originaly an "Ibisha" player , but he sometimes selects "Furibisha" in his game . He already has a licence of 18th life-time Meijin , basically he will be called this title after his retirement .

This game seemed to be a game of "CHUZA Bisha" , but MORIUCHI declined it by 2.P-6f . This move always shows that Sente want to select "Yagura" or "Furibisha" game . MORIUCHI also selected "Sanken Bisha" , one of the "Furibisha" senpou . MORIUCHI made an "ISHIDA ryu" formation plus "Mino gakoi" , and CHUZA moved in 5th file .
