The game started with FUKAURA's move 1.P-7f . Since FUKAURA is basicaly a Ibisha player , he seemed to want a Yagura or Kakukawari game . KIMURA shown his attitude to accept FUKAURA's choice with 1...P-8d .

But FUKAURA moved 2.P-5f , instead of 2.S-6h (Yagura) or 2.P-2f (Kakukawari) . The move 2.P-5f is a beginning of Rikisen Furibisha . FUKAURA somtimes selects Rikisen Furibisha include ISHIDA ryu and Gokigen Nakabisha .

In this game , KIMURA opened his Bishop line with 2...P-3d , before advancing his Pawns to 8e & 5d . Then FUKAURA could get a Kurai of the 5th file with P-5e and the opening became Sente Gosuji Kuraidori Nakabisha .
