KUBO selected his favorite opening "Gokigen Nakabisha ". MORIUCHI replied with "MARUYAMA's vactin "; 4.Bx2b+. But MORIUCHI's choice in this game is not "SATO's new move variation" ; 5.P-9f , he simply move the King ;K-6h.

Why MORIUCHI didn't choice "SATO's new move variation"? His move answerd this question ; SATO's new move variation are aiming to make "Hidari Mino" safty , but in this game MORIUCHI wanted to make "Ibisha Anaguma" .

While MORIUCHI was making "Ibisha Anaguma" , KUBO made his camp "Mukai Bisha" + S-4d formation . Then KUBO started attacking with "Ni-Go Kei pon" attack ; Nx2e .

CHIBA led the opening "Yonteme san-san Kaku senpou"; 2...B-3c opening , and MIURA exchanged the Bishops immediately . CHIBA ranged his Rook to 4b ; "Shiken Bisha" .

In this formation , Gote needs additional Rook's move to use his Rook . One way of using Gote's Rook is move to 2b . Other way is to move the Rook 3d through 4d after pushing 4th and 3rd file to 5th rank . If Sente exchanges his Rook's Pawn , Gote will crush the Rook ; R-2b .

CHIBA choiced the first way ; R-2b , as a way of using his Rook , and he seemed preparing his castle making "Anaguma" . In the other hand , MIURA completed "Hidari mino " .
Suddenly CHIBA started attacking with "Ni-Go Kei pon"; Nx2e attack .

KUBO led the opening to "Gokigen Nakabisha". Replying it TOYOSHIMA selected the variation of "Go Hachi Kin Kyusen" , but KUBO declined a variation of rough game , he select a quiet game ; K-6b . ( more detail of "Go Hachi Kin kyuusen" , see ; http://yamajunn.hp.infoseek.co.jp/Shogi_Opening/Gokigen_Nakabisha/Gokigen_Nakabisha1.html )

TOYOSHIMA defend the central (around 5th file) , by 5h Gold and 4h Silver . KUBO moved B-3c and TOYOSHIMA immediatly exchanged the Bishops . If TOYOSHIMA didn't exchange , KUBO perhaps moves S-4b and his formation will become the similer to "Wanpaku Nakabisha" .
