FUKAURA seemed to select Ittezon Kakukawari until 2...G-3b , but he closed the Bishop line with 3...P-4d without exchanging the Bishops . AKUTSU advanced the 2nd file Pawn with 4.P-2e to disturb FUKAURA's natural building of Yagura gakoi .

FUKAURA didn't decline the 2nd file Pawn exchange , but he turned the Rook with 4...R-4b and his camp became Shiken Bisha . FUKAURA perhaps meant AKUTSU needed some more moves because 3.G-7h disturbed to make a Kakoi for anti-Furibisha .

FUKAURA advanced the 4th file Pawn with 5...P-4e to open his Bishop line again and threatening the 4th file Pawn exchange . AKUTSU closed his Bishop line with 6.P-6f to decline the Bishop exchange .

FUKAURA completed Kata mino gakoi and AKUTSU also started making his Kakoi . FUKAURA exchanged the 4th file Pawns before AKUTSU completed making his Kakoi . After some moves , FUKAURA moved up his left Gold with 18...G-5d facing the Rooks .

During the battle , AKUTSU's King entered his Yagura gakoi . They roughly attacked each other . FUKAURA dropped a Gold with 40...G-6g , but his King was already ...
