Subject: RE: Question about "leaving your king in check"


Hello shogi fans,

It's illegal and it matters.

Kazuo Ishida made a check to Hifumi Kato's King in spite that Kato made 
a check to Ishida's King just one move earlier in 1998. He lost the 
game.

Here is a similar example. 

Yoshiyuki Ueyama advanced a pawn which exposed his King
in the diagonal line of opponent's Bishop in the game with Masao
Kitamura on May 31, 1991. He lost it because of that.
The Kifu(gamerecord) is available to see at

 or

The move in question is the 113rd move of P6e-6d.
