        No.5 ... S4h (48 Gin) is very dangerous move because :

5. S4h P7d      48 Gin       74 Fu
6, G7h S7c      78 Kin       73 Gin
7. P6f S6d      66 Fu        64 Gin
8. G5h P8e      58 Kin       85 Fu
9. G7g P7e      78 Kin Right 75 Fu ..... This is fast attack by white.

This can not avoid Silver exchange on 8 files which is no good for black side
to be exchanged Attack and Protect Silver such early stage.

The best and considerable step of No.5 should be P5f (56 Fu) because when
Silver comes at 7e postion, The Bishop can attack the white rook from
4f (46) position.  The movement should be :

>From No.9

9. B7i P7e     79 Kaku    75 Fu
10,P7e S7e     Do Fu      Do Gin
11.B4f         64 Kaku.......  attack rook now then white's fast attack was
                               failed.
                               You got it !!

        Therefore, we have to move strictly P5f (56 Fu) at No.5.

        This is common sense of YAGURA strategey.

        Shogi must be very careful from the very early stage. Especially
        Yagura is still too difficult for me.
