From: Nobumitsu Yoda MSD BIGLOBE NE JP> Date: 22 nov 2002 Subject: Sorry for garbaged letters. Dear Shogi friends, Habu has won the 2nd game of the 15th Ryuoh match. The opening strategy was an old fashioned type of “Double Fortress”(Ai-Yagura). Until N85(after the sealed move), Habu has played exactly same proceeding of game 10 years ago against Makoto Nakahara(lifetime Ju-dan). That game Habu was Black. White’s king on 41 looked unstable but wasn’t in immediate danger. And as Habu aimed for “Sparrow spear”(Suzumezashi), Black’s king on 88 didn’t necessarily mean safe. Habu’s furious attack was unstoppable and as a result, Abe had no chance to counterattack. You can replay the game on this site. http://www.ryuoh.jp/club_1507/live1503/indexlc.html Nobumitsu Yoda
