NAKAMURA advanced the 7th file Pawn with 2.P-7e making Haya ISHIDA shape . SATOMI pushed the 5th file Pawn with 2...P-5d forcing NAKAMURA to close her Bishop line . If still NAKAMURA selected 3.R-7h , she would lose advantage . (about this line , please see my other blog ; Yamajunn's Shogi opening traps . )

NAKAMURA closed her Bishop line with 3.P-6f . SATOMI made Sanken Bisha form with 3...R-3b before any advancement of her left Silver . After protected the 6th file Pawn with 5.S-6g , NAKAMURA also made her camp Sanken Bisha with 6.R-7h .

SATOMI immediately exchanged the 3rd file Pawns , and NAKAMURA advanced her right Silver trying to make Yagura gakoi . Replying NAKAMURA's 9.S-3g , SATOMI dropped a Pawn with 9...P*3f to decline NAKAMURA's Yagura gakoi .

NAKAMURA backed her 3g-Silver with 10.S-2h and SATOMI advanced her left Silver to support the 3f-Pawn .

NAKAMURA floated her Rook with 12.R-7f and advanced her right Silver with 16.S-2g threatening the 3f-Pawn . But NAKAMURA didn't attack the Pawn , but advanced the left Silver with 17.S-6f aiming at the 5e-Pawn .

SATOMI's move 17...R-8d seemed a good move ! By the move , SATOMI aimed at the 8g-Pawn and forced NAKAMURA to push the Pawn with 18.P-8f . SATOMI turned her Rook again with 18...R-2d and captured the 2f-Pawn with 19...Sx2f .

NAKAMURA escaped the 2g-Silver with 20.Sx3f capturing the 3f-Pawn , because NAKAMURA's camp had a defect to be dropped a Silver on 8g .

After some moves , NAKAMURA's left Silver was driven away and SATOMI's King entered Hon mino gakoi . SATOMI pushed the 4th file Pawn with 37...P-4e to open the Bishop line , NAKAMURA exchanged the Bishops and dropped it with 39.B*2h . But the Bishop became SATOMI's attacking target .

After sacrificing the 4th and 3rd file Pawns , SATOMI crushed her 3e-Silver against NAKAMURA's 3g-Gold with 42...S-3f .
