(diagram 1)

After both players opened the Bishop line with 1.P-7f & 1...P-3d , ISHITAKA moved up her right Silver with 2.S-4h . This move is usually seen in Sente Ibisha player & Gote Furibisha player's game . By this move Sente can develop his camp without pushing the 2nd file Pawn .

FUJITA pushed the 9th file Pawn and advanced the 3rd file Pawn ,her camp became Haya ISHIDA form . Without the 9th file Pawn push , 2...P-3e will make a game like following line ; 2...P-3e , 3.P-2f R-3b , 4.Bx2b+ Sx2b , 5.B*6e B*3d 6.K-6h G-7b . After the 9th file Pawn push , the previous line has some difference . If Sente pushed the 2nd file Pawn in stead of 4.K-6h , Gote can make Mino gakoi naturally ; 4.P-2f R-3b , 5.Bx2b+ Sx2b , 6.B*6e B*4c , 7.K-6h S-7b! . After S-7b , the line 8.B-5f Bx5f , 9.Px5f K-6b , 10.B*8b is not effective , because the threatened 9a-Lance can escape with 10...L-9c .

ISHITAKA moved up her King with 4.K-6h to protect the 6g-Pawn . By this move , Gote can't move her Rook to 3b without closing the Bishop line . If Gote still move 4...R-3b , Gote will lose an advantage with the following moves ; 4...R-3b , 5.Bx2b+ Sx2b , 6.B*6e G-4b , 7.Bx8c+ . This is because FUJITA moves her Rook after closing the Bishop line .

ISHITAKA made Funa gakoi and advanced the 2nd file Pawn with 10.P-2e . FUJITA floated her Rook with R-3d to defend the 2nd file and make ISHIDA ryu hongumi formation . Before developing attacking formation , FUJITA completed her Hon mino gakoi with 12.S-7b .

ISHITAKA advanced her right Gold to 2f ; Bou Kin strategy , and started attacking with 18.P-3f .

ISHITAKA advanced her right Silver with the 3rd file Pawn exchange . And after sacrificing the 2nd file Pawn , her Gold advanced with 21.G-3e . Because FUJITA couldn't protect the 2nd file , she attacked the 5th file .

ISHITAKA captured the 4d-Pawn with 23.Px4d , but this move enabled FUJITA to use her all attacking pieces effectively . After some moves , FUJITA seemed to get an advantage .

MORIUCHI pushed the 6th file Pawn and moved up his right Silver with 5...S-6c to decline the 7th file Pawn exchange . And he moved up his right Gold with 7...G6a-5b , to make solid Kakoi . Because MORIUCHI didn't select Bou kin attacking , KUBO moved up his left Silver .

MORIUCHI advanced the 8th file Pawn and KUBO floated his Rook with 9.R-7f to decline the 8th file Pawn exchange . MORIUCHI's Rook moved with 9...R-7b , aiming at KUBO's 7f-Rook .
After moving up the Bishop with 10.B-7g , KUBO pushed the 6th file Pawn to open the Bishop line .

In the other hand , MORIUCHI completed Hidari mino and replying KUBO's 11.P-6e MORIUCHI backed his King on 3a to protect his Bishop without exchanging the Bishops . KUBO moved up his left Gold with 12.G-7h , to prepare a Rook exchange . MORIUCHI closed his Bishop line with 12...P-4d .

KUBO pushed the 8th file Pawn with 13.P-8f , MORIUCHI didn't reply it but captured the 6e-Pawn . If MORIUCHI captured a Pawn with 13...Px8f , the game would advance a line like following moves ; 13...Px8f , 14.Rx8f P*8b , 15.P*8c .

Replying KUBO's 14.Px8e , MORIUCHI advanced his right Silver with 14...S-6d to disturb KUBO's R-8f . KUBO completed Kata mino gakoi and MORIUCHI's King entered Hidari mino .

CHUZA　is well known as an inventor of "Hachi-Go Hi senpou" , so this tactics is also called "CHUZA Bisha" . He is an "Ibisha" player and likes "Yokofutori" and "Aigakari" game .

In the other hand , MORIUCHI is originaly an "Ibisha" player , but he sometimes selects "Furibisha" in his game . He already has a licence of 18th life-time Meijin , basically he will be called this title after his retirement .

This game seemed to be a game of "CHUZA Bisha" , but MORIUCHI declined it by 2.P-6f . This move always shows that Sente want to select "Yagura" or "Furibisha" game . MORIUCHI also selected "Sanken Bisha" , one of the "Furibisha" senpou . MORIUCHI made an "ISHIDA ryu" formation plus "Mino gakoi" , and CHUZA moved in 5th file .
