ABE naturally opened his Bishop line with 1.P-7f and WATANABE pushed the 8th file Pawn with 1...P-8d . WATANABE's 1...P-8d perhaps means he would accepts ABE's choice both Yagura and Kakukawari opening . But ABE selected the opening of Rikisen Furibisha with 2.P-5f .

WATANABE advanced the 8th file Pawn with 2...P-8e and pushed the 5th file Pawn with 3...P-5d to avoid ABE's Gosuji Kurai dori Nakabisha .

ABE moved up his left Silver with 4.S-6h , and he seemed to select Wanpaku Nakabisha line , because 4.R-8h is natural move to select MASUDA ryu Mukai Bisha . ABE didn't select Nakabisha with 5.R-5h , but advanced his 6h-Silver with 5.S-5g .

WATANABE opened the Bishop line with 5...P-3d , ABE turned his Rook with 6.R-8h and the opening became Sente Mukai Bisha . After some moves , ABE made Kata mino gakoi and WATANABE made Funa gakoi . WATANABE closed the Bishop line with 10...P-4d to fasten his Kakoi and make the game quiet one .

ABE exchanged the 8th file Pawns by his Bishop and prepared to attack . After some moves , ABE's left Knight jumped capturing the 8e-Pawn .

Although WATANABE defended the 8th file , ABE still attacked in the 7th & 8th files . Until 31.P*8d , ABE succeeded to make WATANABE's Rook useless . Sacrificing the Rook , WATANABE tried to attack with making a promoted Pawn on 6h .

(If you want to know more detail , please see my other blog .)

K-6h is not always good move in case of opponent's "Ibisha" . So , KUBO pushed his Rook Pawn and shown that he might select "Ibisha" , and replying it ABE closed Bishop line;P-6f once and tried makeing the game quiet one . Finally KUBO ranged his Rook to 4b and the opening became Gote "Shiken Bisha" .
