Subject: Re: Shukan Shogi: amazing commentary in the 2nd game of the 32nd


This was an obvious mistake by me. The point here was that in the 
Sato-Habu game the bishops were not exchanged yet. I changed the 
comments as follows:

***************************
This has already turned into a strange opening, even for Sato's 
standards. It is only the 16th move, but both players have already 
exchanged the major pieces. After the game, both players admitted to be 
surprised by the turn of events here. The idea of answering the early 
pawn push to 9e with G7h followed by P2d was already played in the third 
game of the 54th Oza match between Sato and Habu in 2006. There white 
didn't exchange the bishops first and after Rx2d, Habu played K6b and 
the game become a slow build-up (after this the rook promotion R2c+ 
doesn't work because of Bx8h+ Sx8h R2b). The bishop exchange followed by 
14.R2b is far more aggressive. After the game, Moriuchi said that he 
never expected 14.R2b to be played here. Sato was also surprised: "I 
thought 15.Rx2b+ was not possible and only thought about 15.P*2c R4b". 
An interesting difference of opinion, leading to this unusual opening. 
Things will get a lot weirder, though...
***************************

I have changed the webpages accordingly. Thanks for pointing this out.
