The 1st is toprepare attacking in 1st file . The other is towait Gote makes his formation . Gote replies with 13...P-6d . By this P-6d , Goteis preparing King's move to enterYagura gakoi .And the same time this move is attacking Sente's Rook . In order to avoid it , Sente must make his form ; S-3g , N-3g or aother move . HereSente also moves the Bishop with 14.B-4f . Both players back their each Bishop with 17.B-3g and 17...B-7c and develope the camps toprepare attacking formaiton . Back to the top of this page . |

And Sente hascompleted Sou Yagura with 22.S-5g . Gote's move 22...S-6c is a bad move . But to understand Sente's attacking way , I show thisline .

( The 2f Bishop has moved 4times ; 8h ->7i -> 4f ->3g -> 2f . ) Both player has completed attacking formation ,and Sente starts attacking with P-25.4e . Back to the top of this page . |

If Gote captured 4ePawn with 25...Px4e , Sente will promote his Bishop with 26.B-7a+ . After 25...R-7b , Sente's Rook joines attacking .Gote captures the 4e Pawn . Sente continues attacking with sacrificing the Bishop . At thediagram 5 , Sente has got a great advantage . Back to the top of this page . |
