From: Manabu Terao - Nihon Sun RM Advisory Staff Date: 10 mar 1997 Subject: First 40(originally 30)move examples from the opening --- 014 Dear Shogi fans, The theme this week is Bogin(Climing Silver) again. The Black intents to move his right Silver such as 3h - 2g - 3f - 2e and then to capture the White's Pawn in 3e to break the White's head of Bishop at 2c as a next move. The White's defense I'm introducing here is to prevent the Black's silver from forwarding to 2e by jumping the kNight from 2a to 3c. Example 40(White's in advantage) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 P2f P8d P2e P8e G7h G3b P2d Px2d Rx2d P*2c 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 R2f S7b S3h P1d S2g P3d S3f B4d R2h N3c 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 P4f P5d P*2d Px2d Rx2d S2b P4e B5c R3d P*2h 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 Rx5d K4b R2d Px2i+ Rx2i P8f Px8f Bx8f P*8g B6d Example 41(Next Black's S*2c will be troublesome to White in spite of material advantage) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 P2f P8d P2e P8e G7h G3b P2d Px2d Rx2d P*2c 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 R2f S7b S3h P1d P1f P6d S2g P3d S3f B4d 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 R2h N3c P4f P5d P*2d Px2d Rx2d S2b P4e B5c 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 R3d S6c R2d Px2e P7f S2c Rx2c+ G2c+ Px2d G2b Example 42(I would like be for White because of material advantage) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 P2f P8d P2e P8e G7h G3b P2d Px2d Rx2d P*2c 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 R2f S7b S3h P1d P1f P6d S2g P3d S3f B4d 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 R2h N3c P4f P5d P*2d Px2d Rx2d S2b P4e B5c 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 R3d P*2h Px5d K4b R2d Px2i+ Rx2i P8f Px8f Rx8f Have fun.
