Yesterday Habu won the third game of 33rd Kio-sen 3-wins match with Kio Sato in 71 moves. Habu was Sente player. The opening strategy of the game was Sato's Gokigen Nakabisha(central Rook). Habu's response was to choose ultra quick attack variation. The position at the 25th move of B*9f is the same as that of 2nd game of 57th Osho-sen between Habu and Kubo played on January 24 and 25. Sato's 26th move was K-5c instead of P-7d but in vain finally.
The diagram below is the resignation one. The possible variations after that position would be as followings;
B*8e K-6d Bx6c S*7c Nx7c Nx7c+ K-9b G*8b(mate)
B*8e K-6d G*7d Kx5d Gx6e S*7a K-9b G*8b(mate,replayable by clicking the arrow in the right direction under the diagaram)
B*8e K-6d G*7d Kx5d P-9d S*7c K-9b L*9c(!) Nx9c G*8b(mate)
B*8e K-6d G*7d Kx5d P-9d S*7c K-9b L*9c(!) Kx9c B-7a+ K-9b +B-8b(mate)
B*8e K-6d G*7d Kx5d P-9d S*7c Nx7c +Px7c K-9c B-7a+ K-8d +Px7d Bx7d G*7e K-7c G*6d(mate)
B*8e K-6d G*7d Kx5d P-9d S*7c Nx7c +Px7c Gx7c Nx7c+ K-9c B-7a+ K-8d G*7e K-9e G*8f(mate)
B*8e K-6d G*7d Kx5d P-9d S*7c Nx7c +Px7c Gx7c Nx7c+ Kx7c N*6e K-8b G*7c K-9c Gx8c Kx8c R*7c K-8d B-7e+ K-9e G*8f(mate)
Gote was hopeless in any case.
The score after the game is 2-1 led by Habu. The 4th game will take place on March 19.
