From: Manabu Terao - Nihon Sun RM Advisory Staff Date: 12 may 1997 Subject: First 40(originally 30)move examples from the opening --- 022 Dear Shogi-fans, The theme this week is "Yokofutori Kuchusen"(air fight) opening. The White's move of 16,B3c is the key move for this opening. The example 64 is a current joseki while the example 65 is an old one. The main difference is castling of the Black's King. 'Nakazumai'(meaning K5h or K5b) becomes more and more popular in this opening. The example 66 is the White's failure which tends to be overlooked. 22,S6b is the bad move. It should be replaced by 22,K5b as in the Ex. 64 & 65 or P1d.
