INOUE seemed to select Ittezon Kakukawari as the opening of this game until 3...P-8d . But replying NOZUKI's 4.P-1f , INOUE advanced the 8th file Pawn with 4...P-8e . NOZUKI also advanced his Rook Pawn with 5.P-2e .

Both INOUE and NOZUKI exchanged their Rook Pawns . Just after this exchanges , INOUE could capture the 7f-Pawn , but he didn't do it . Instead of capuring the 7f-Pawn , he pushed the 1st file Pawn with 8...P-1d . Then the game became similar to Ai-Yokofutori line . But INOUE's 8...P-1d enabled him to move the Rook with 11...R-2f , and the game advanced unusual line .
