SUZUKI pushed the 1st file Pawn in very early stage of the game . This move means Sente is waiting Gote's P-8d . After P-8d Sente mainly wants to push P-5f and select Gokigen Nakabisha .

SATO moved up his King with 2...K-4b and declined Sente's Gokigen Nakabisha . If SUZUKI still tried to select Gokigen Nakabisha with 3.P-5f , the game would developped a line like following moves ; 3.P-5f? Bx8h+! , 4.Rx8h B*5g , 5. S-6h B-2d+ . The similar line is shown in my other blog . (http://shogi-opening-traps.blogspot.com/2008/10/gokigen-nakabisha-part-1.html)

Then SUZUKI selected Shiken Bisha with R-6h in this game . Both player moved their each King . Replying SATO's P-8d , SUZUKI moved up his Bishop with 6.B-7g without closing his Bishop line . This Bishop move is seen in FUJII's open Shiken Bisha . SATO immediately exchanged the Bishops and advanced his Rook Pawn with 7...P-8e . SUZUKI slided his Rook to 8h , then SUZUKI's camp became Mukai Bisha . And the game transpositoned to a variation of reversed Yonteme San-San Kaku senpou .
