NAMEKATA immediatly exchange the Bishop and set his left Gold at 7h . This move ; G-7h is effective to prevent Gote's "Oni goroshi Mukai Bisha" . (more detail -->see my other blog )


NAMEKATA pushed 1st and 2nd file Pawn early . TAMURA's S-6b seemed dangerous , because only Sente can exchange his Rook Pawn .
