1. 76 Fu         2. 84 Fu       3. 26 Fu         4. 32 Kin

13.77 Gin       14. 32 Kin      15.38 Gin       16. 72 Gin
17.96 Fu        18. 33 Gin      19.46 Fu        20. 64 Fu

25.68 Gyoku     26. 54 Gin      27.79 Gyoku     28. 52 Kin
29.56 Gin       30. 14 Fu       31.16 Fu        32. 74 Fu
33.36 Fu        34. 65 Fu       35.95 Fu !      36. Fujite


As I expected before, the black Tanigawa adapted his most favorite
strategy, Bishop-Exchange plus Silver sitting on the chair.
Please imagine the white Sato's Fujite (No.36 move).

My prospect is 31 Gyoku. (K-3a)
How about you ?

Tanigawa took two moves on 9th file till 95 Fu (P-9e). If this would
be an effective move, he would get priority in this game.
