From: Manabu Terao - Nihon Sun RM Advisory Staff Date: 18 nov 1996 Subject: First 30 move examples from the opening Dear Shogi fans, In reference to Mr. Caster's post on the opening theory, I'm sending and will send 3 examples of first 30 moves every week. Some are my real opening and some are in my brain. I believe both will be somehow helpful. The theme today is 4th file Rook vs S6h-S5g. Example 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 P7f P3d P2f P4d S4h R4b P5f K6b K6h S7b 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 K7h S3b G4i-5h G4a-5b P9f P9d P3f K7a S6h K8b 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 S6h-5g P5d G6i-6h P6d R3h L1b P3e P*3e S4f P4e Example 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 P7f P3d P2f P4d S4h R4b P5f K6b K6h S7b 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 K7h S3b G4i-5h G4a-5b P9f P9d P3f K7a S6h K8b 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 S6h-5g P5d R3h L1b P3e P*3e S4f P4e B*3c+ S*3c Example 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 P7f P3d P2f P4d S4h R4b P5f K6b K6h S7b 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 K7h S3b G4i-5h G4a-5b P9f P9d P3f K7a S6h K8b 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 S6h-5g P5d B9g R4a B7i P4e P6f B4d P2d P*2d See you next week with another examples of 4th file Rook vs S6h-S5g again.
