Yesterday Kubo won the third game of 57th Osho-sen 4-wins match with the defender Osho Habu in 111 moves. Kubo was Sente player. The game went to Sente's Fujii System against Gote's Ibisha Anaguma. Kubo's new idea in this game was to postpone taking a Pawn in the 2nd file until sacrificing a Pawn on 6d and trading Silvers on the 4th file and it seems to have worked well.
The diagram below is the resignation one. The possible variations after that position would be
G-4h +Rx2a Kx2a G*3a(!) Kx3a R*4a K-3b +B-4b(mate, replayable by clicking the arrow in the right direction below the board)
G*3a R*5c G-4h Rx2c+ Gx2c +Rx3a Gx3h +Rx2a Kx2a S*3b Kx3b +B4d-4c K-3a G*3b(mate)
G*3a R*5c G-4h Rx2c+ Gx3h +Rx2e S*3g +Rx3a P*2f K-1g Gx3a N*2c(mate)
G*3a R*5c G-4h Rx2c+ Gx3h +Rx2e S*3g +Rx3a S*2f +Rx2f Sx2f+ Kx3h R*5h K-4i Rx5b+ +Rx2b(!) Gx2b N*2c(mate)
S*3a R*5c G-4h Rx2c+ Gx2c +Rx3a G*3c +B5b-4c Gx4c S*3b Gx3h +Rx2a(mate)
S*3a R*5c G-4h Rx2c+ Gx2c +Rx3a G*3c +B5b-4c N*3b +B4dx3c Gx3c +Rx2a Kx2a G*3a(!) Kx3a N*2c(!) Px2c S*4b K-2a S*2b(!) Kx2b +Bx3c K-1c S*2b(mate)
There would be more variations, but Gote was hopeless in any cases.
