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 .
