Steve,

That seems relatively unusual to me..... seems like Moriuchi felt pretty
good about his chances!

A "Sitting King" is avoided like the plague as the middle of the board is a=

dangerous place to be, just like western chess. Additionally one of the
shogi proverbs says to push your opponent's king to the back rank to win. S=
=3D
o
by having a sitting King you're in double jeopardy.

Do you have a link to that game so I can see this sitting King confidance?
:)
