Shogi Openings: Quick Ishida Attack #3 (Suzuki's P-7d)

[TheGamesTester]

Hello, as always many thanks for the videos, they're very informative and have helped improve my playstyle substantially.

Just one query though, at 4.07 what would you do if white decided to drop a fu to g8?

[HIDETCHI]

How about

Bx2b+ Sx2b

P*7b Sx7b

B*7g

?

[TheGamesTester]

Cheers; the first and third were the options that i was mainly considering-im slightly unsure as to how the pawn drop to 7b would work; could you explain the merit of drawing the silver forward?

[HIDETCHI]

If 7b square is open, the white's rook can run to 8b simultaneously protecting the 2b silver.

Oh sorry, i pressumed the seperate lines were separate options rather than continual; my mistake. Yes thats alot clearer now, thanks
