Until 2...P-8d , HABU shown his attitude to select Yokofudori for the opening of this game . FUKAURA closed his Bishop line with 3.P-6f and started making Yagura gakoi to reject Yokofudori .

FUKAURA was developing his camp without moving 6i-Gold to select FUJII ryu Hayagakoi strategy . HABU quickly advanced his right Silver onto 6d to disturb FUKAURA's strategy . FUKAURA gave up to continue his strategy and moved up the 6i-Gold with 13.G-7h . HABU slid his Rook with 13...R-5b to attack this file .

HABU didn't protect the Knight but dropped a Silver with 23...S-3i attacking the 2h-Rook . FUKAURA sacrificed his Rook and tried to continue attacking . However , HABU's 5g-Pawn drop seemed to make FUKAURA's King dangerous .
