With 4...R-4b , KUSHIDA selected Shiken Bisha , his favorite opening in this game . After the King reached 7h , YAUCHI moved up her Bishop with 7.B-7g to make solid Kakoi , especially Ibisha Anaguma in the most cases . But YAUCHI hardly selects Ibisha Anaguma . She likes Kyusen line and Ginkanmuri line as counter-plans against Shiken Bisha . In this game , she once made Kushikatsu gakoi and developed it Ginkanmuri .

In the other hand , KUSHIDA made Hon mino gakoi , and developed it through Diamond Mino gakoi to Taka mino gakoi with S-6d .

After YAUCHI gathered all her Golds and Silvers for the defense of her King , she floated her Rook with 23.R-2f and threatened the 3d-Pawn with 24.R-3f . KUSHIDA protected the 3d-Pawn with 24...R-4d and started attacking with 25...P-5e .
