KOBAYASHI selected Yagura as the opening of this game and SHIMA accepted it . The game naturally advanced along a line to Shin Yagura Nijuu-yonte gumi for a while . But SHIMA's 9...P-6d made the game rough .

After some moves , SHIMA ranged his Rook with 13...R-5b and advanced the left Silver to attack KOBAYASHI's camp .
