so really this was 8 minutes to explain that you must move the gold as the 5th move :P

[HIDETCHI]

Yes, which is very important to learn.

You have to know how to punish black's P-2d without the gold move if you were playing white, otherwise black's reckless p-2d would make you lose.

could i ask what program do you use????

[HIDETCHI]

It's BCM-shogi.

At 4:40, what if Black uses the right Gold to G5h, then White can't get the chance to R*7h, right?

[HIDETCHI]

If G4-5h, you lose the Silver on 3i.

At 5:05, you proposed bishop drop to 3f, but it seems white can go horse takes 6g, threatening to take the knight or to get a strong defense if the horse is retrieved back to 1b.

So as to avoid this, I think bishop drop on 4e is better : you can still threaten promotion, you defend 6g, and you also a dangling pawn on 2d if the horse were to leave its diagonal.

What happened to the sequel? I would like to know what do you think happens if black choose P-9f instead of G-7h or P-2d. Pros occasionally pick P-9f but there's little material even in Japanese to pursue this variation.

1. From lower comment: we use +B (promoted bishop) not H (horse) in international notation :)

2. After B*3e Px22+ from book: Sx22 R28 Bx57+ B*45 G32 Bx63+ G52 and after +B escapes Rx86 or +Bx67.

3. I also remember from one site two variations after B*3e. a) R2e Bx5g+ R5e Bx6g Rx5c+ P*5b, b) R2h Bx5g+ Px2b+ Rx2b P*2c R1b B*2b P*2d Bx1a+ Rx1a L*2g B*4e Lx2d P*2g.

4. And i was very happy that i found 10:04 P*8f lol
