From: Manabu Terao - Nihon Sun RM Advisory Staff Date: 3 mar 1997 Subject: First 40(originally 30)move examples from the opening --- 013 Dear Shogi fans, The theme this week is Black's Primitive Bogin without exchanging Rook Pawn until his right Silver climbs up. As you see, it is not likely to be so easy to break White's head of Bishop(2c) even if Bogin is done by Black. When you defense against Bogin, think of switching the position of your Bishop or exchanging it with the opponent's Bishop. Then Bogin loses the attacking target in spite of investing many moves of climibing his right Silver.
