Until 3...R-5b , TANAKA selected Gokigen Nakabisha as the opening of this game . SATO selected MARUYAMA vaccin line by Bishop exchange and pushed the 9th file Pawn with 5.P-9f to select SATO's variation .

SATO seemed to make Hidari mino , however he developed his camp to something like ITODANI ryu Migi Gyoku formation .

After some moves TANAKA started attacking with 31...P-5e and SATO counter-attacked TANAKA's camp and dropped a Bishop with 34.B*3b .
