Subject: First 40(originally 30)move examples from the opening --- 016

Dear Shogi fans,

The theme this week is 'Yagura'again following to the last week.

One reason why currently Black postpone moving its left silver
to 7g until White closes its Bishop Diagonal is to prevent White
from choosing Yagura Central Rook like here.

(This does not mean Yagura Central Rook is the strategy for
victory without fail. Just Black usually tries minimizing White
options of opening strategies in Yagura opening today.)

Have fun
Manabu Terao
