Subject: First 40(originally 30)move examples from the opening --- 015

Dear Shogi fans,

The theme this week is 'Yagura'. The number 43 and 44 are the examples
approx. 20 years ago, while the number 44 is the current Joseki sequence.

The major points changed these 20 years are ;

   * Black reserves forwarding its Rook Pawn till it really becomes
     necessary.

   * Black closes its Bishop Diagonal by moving its Pawn to 6f and Black
     does not move its Left Silver from 6h to 7g until White closes its
     Bishop Diagonal(Only exception will occur if White forwards its Rook
     Pawn to 8e earlier.) in order to be prepared for possible White's
     fast attack.

   * White usually moves its right edge Pawn to 1d only after Black jumps
     its kNight to 3g in order to prevent Black from adopting Climing
     Silver.

Example 43(Black's strategy is called "S3g strategy")
