SHIMIZUKAMI selected "Shiken Bisha" as an opening . His early move of P-1f has some meaning ; (1) Sente wants to move P-6f after Gote's P-8d . (2) Sente can select "Fujii system " by dalying King's move . (3) If Gote replies P-1d , Gote wastes one move to make "Ibisha Anaguma" .
MATSUO simply started making his castle .
