KAI advanced the 7th file Pawn with 2.P-7e to select ISHIDA ryu opening , and SATOMI exchanged the Bishops with 2...Bx8h+ to select an effective variation of this opening .

After the Bishop exchange , SATOMI dropped a Bishop with 3...B*4e forking the Pawns on 2g & 6g . KAI also dropped a Bishop with 4.B*7f to defend 6g and aim at 4c in the same time . Both players defend their each Pawn (4c & 2g ) , and exchanged the Bishop again .

After some moves , KAI made Kin mino gakoi and developed it to KIMURA mino . In the other hand , SATOMI made Hidari mino . Suddenly KAI captured the 8e-Pawn by her Knight , and SATOMI started counter-attacking with 19...P-5e .
