Until MIYATA's P-4d , it seemed that he wanted to lead the opening to "Ittezon Kakukawari" , but by P-4d the game became difficult to advance this opening . The game like this opening moves usually advances in "Ginkanmuri" or "Yagura" .

In this game , KIMURA moved his Bishop through 7g to 6h and aimed to exchange Bishop and Rook's Pawn . If Sente really want this exchange , Gote can't avoid this with natural moves . KIMURA exchanged the Bishops as he wanted and dropped the Bishop again and MIYATA must drop his Bishop , but he made "Ginkanmuri", a good Kakoi in the same time .
