The diagram is at the resignation after Gote(White)'s K2b-1b. There are no mate for Gote's King. For example, P*1c Nx1c S*2a K-2c S*4e N*3e K-3d then Gote can't make any more check. On the other hand, Sente's King is in hisshi(brinkmate) since Gote(White) has thousands pieces in hand such as one Bishop, three Golds, one Silver, One Night, and three Pawns. If Sente(Black) made a defensive move like S*7g, then mate line exists like G*5h K-6g G*5g K-6f G-5f(mate). How about S*7h instead of S*7g, again mate line exists like G*5h, K-7i G*6h(mate).
