The anaguma can be attacked along the edge with P1f, P1e then P1d later. If the shikenbisha player lets the anaguma get established quickly, then the anaguma player should take the time to play P1d. This is a good way to impede P1e and the edge attack and also I think P1e improves the chances for escape from the shikenbisha's mino castle in the endgame. But about 10 years ago, I think, the Fujii system was developed where P1f P1e is played very early by shikenbisha and pressure is put on the anaguma side very quickly (at the cost of leaving the K in the middle for a while). In this case the anaguma side never has the time to play P1d. In practice on shogi club 24 even at my low level, people know the Fujii system and the anaguma rarely gets to play P1d. I hope this helps. Please correct me! Ted jfpinto voila fr wrote: Hello, I have a strange question, concerning a particular kind of castle.

In Shikenbisha, when the opposite side play the left anaguma, sometimes
this side push the edge pawn, and sometimes no.

It seems to be dubious, in particular with anaguma?
What is the reason of this precaution?
Thank you.
