SAKAGUCHI is famous for Wanpaku Nakabisha . In this game he seemed to select Nakabisha until 3...P-5d . But he slected Mukai Bisha , especially the opening used to be called MASUDA ryu Mukai Bisha .

This opening has variou dangerous lines . For example , you may feel insead of 4...P-3d , the line 4...S-6b , 5.S-6h P-3d , 6.K-4h K-4b is more natural . (please see my other blog ;Yamajunn's Shogi opening traps)

The line 4...P-3d has a variation , 5.Bx2b+ Sx2b , 6.B*5c , but this line is more safty . I will treat this line in my site . (Yamajunn's shogi opening )

Both players started making their each Kakoi .
