I really thank Ms.Noda for introducing a very interesting book. I am sure
that her effort will help non-Japanese-speaking shogi funs for their study
of joseki, and am looking forward to her net post.

However I was a little surprised the Black's move B*9f. This bishop seems to
be killed soon but it isn't. I wonder if there is a good way to kill it.
Dan-players' advice will appreciated since I am just 1-kyu.

Speaking of Haya-Ishida, I also studied a little when I recently played this
on an e-mail shogi with one of a Hong Kong shogi club members.

I think the frightening variation for White is (from Black) P-7d, Px7d,
Bx2b+, Sx2b, B*5e instead of Black's K-3h in the main flow.
How would you play after Black's P-7d, if you were White, everybody??
It will be the fork of Rook and Silver.
