KIMURA's Rook escaped and KIMURA tried to continue attacking . But while KIMURA was attacking , FUKAURA slowly attacked KIMURA's camp with 39.Nx4e. Until 43.S*8c , KIMURA's Rook was killed , and KIMURA's attack became difficult to continue . FUKAURA dropped a Knight with 49.N*3e and this move seemed very effective attack .
