Diagram 10. Yonenaga(b) vs Nakahara(w), up to Rx2d.

Black's P*2d does not always bring about a positional advantage. Kunio
Yonenaga played Makoto Nakahara in the final of the NHK TV Tournament,
on March 6, 1995, in which Yonenaga, Black, chose exactly the same
pattern of attack.

Moves after the diagram:(from White)
....  P-3d;
Rx3d, B-4d;

Then the game sank into one of those difficult games, with White
suffering one P loss, which eventually ended with Nakahara's win.

Moves afterwards:(from Black)
R-3f, R-8b;
P-7e, P*2h;
N-1g, N-3c;
G-3i, G-2c;
S-2g, G-2d;
