Today is the day for the 2nd game of 77th Kisei-sen between Kisei Sato and Challenger Daisuke Suzuki 8dan. Before the game, Sato led the score by 1-0. Sato is playing Sente in this game. Suzuki told to the public before the series that he would take Gokigen Nakabisha in case of Gote.=20 He is keeping his word so the opening strategy is state-of-art Gokigen=20 Nakabisha. You can watch and replay the game at http://www.sankei.co.jp/edit/shogi/kisei/077kisei_02.html The state-of-art Gokigen Nakabisha with Bishop exchange seems to be=20 required to transfer the Rook from the center to the 8th file as you=20 see in this game.
