Diagram 1. Morishita(b) vs Takahashi(w), up to (b)R-3h.
Above is the basic formation to be remembered.
Moves after Diagram 1: (from White)
P-1d; P-2f P-9d; K-8h S-5c; P-9f K-2b;
L-1g B-7c; P-4f S5c-4b; S-4g (Diagram 2)

Diagram 2. Up to (b)S-4g.
White took a hundred-percent passive attitude, with S-5c through B-7c.
In this case there was no hurry for Black to build up a formation to attack.
4g is where Black's S should stand.
Moves from Diagram 2: (from White)
S-2d; P-2e S2d-3c; R-1h R-6b; P-1e Px1e;
Lx1e P*1c; R-1g R-8b; P-5e
As was shown above, Black then resorted to the suzume-zashi, taking one
P in hand. You may say it's a slow deployment, but his moves were made in
response to White's, making sure that White couldn't take the offensive.
