(diagram 1)

Gote opens the  Bishop  line  with  1...P-3d  and  immediately  closes  it  with  2...P-4d . After  moving  up  the  left  Silver  ,  Gote  moves  his  Rook . The  Rooks  move  with  R-5b  is  acharactoristic  move  of  Nakabisha .  If  you  want  Gokigen Nakabisha as  Gote , you should  push  the 5th file Pawn  with  2...P-5d .

This page  shows  mainly  Gote's  Tsuno  GinNakabisha , and  Sente  selects  various  counterplans  against  Tsuno Gin Nakabisha.
