SASAKI selected Haya ISHIDA opening with 2.P-7e . HASHIMOTO naturaly advanced his Rook Pawn with 2...P-8d & 2...P-8e . SASAKI started making his Kakoi , but his 5.S-3h is an odd move . You may think after S-3h , Gote can get Sente's 1i Lance with following moves ; 5...Bx8h+ , 6.Sx8h B*2h . But after these moves , Sente will drop his Bishop with B*5e . Gote can't avoid Sente's Bishop promotion (Gote's S-6b stopped his Rook's power).

HASHIMOTO also started making Kakoi . SASAKI floated his Rook with 7.R-7f and HASHIMOTO exchanged the Bishops with 7...Bx8h+ , to avoid Sente's R-3f .
