HABU selected Yagura as the opening of this game and WATANABE accepted it . The game naturally advanced a typical Shin Yagura Niju-yonte gumi line .

By 13.S-3g , HABU selected Yagura San-Nana Gin senpou line , WATANABE moved up his Bishop with 13...B-6d to prevent the 3rd file Pawn exchange .

After both HABU and WATANABE let their each King enter Yagura gakoi , HABU moved up his right Silver with 17.S-4f to make Yon-Roku Gin San-Nana Kei attacking formation .

Replying HABU's moves , WATANABE strengthen his Kakoi and prepared an counter-attack form . HABU pushed the 3rd file Pawn to start attacking .

WATANABE naturally captured the 3e-Pawn with 25...Sx3e and they exchanged the Silvers . HABU pushed the 1st file Pawn with 27.P-1e to continue attacking .

WATANABE dropped a Silver with 27...S*3g without capturing 1e-Pawn . The move 27...S*3g attacked the 3h-Rook and blocked the Rook's line in the same time . HABU let his Rook escaped with 28.R-3i and WATANABE captured the 1e-Pawn with 28...Px1e .

HABU sacrificed the 6th file Pawn with 29.P-6d and the right Lance with 30.Lx1e , and dropped a Silver with 31.S*6e to attack WATANABE's Bishop . WATANABE made his 3g-Silver promoted with 31...Sx2f attacking the 2e-Knight without escaping the 6d-Bishop .

HABU sealed the 63rd move and the game once stopped .
