Today is the Day 1 of the 4th game of 67th Meijin-sen between Meijin Habu and Goda(9 dan). Habu is Sente player. Here is the duplicate of my twitter entries of the moves made on Day 1.
- Gote thought he would not need to worry about 27.S-2e. Sente was thinking if it would work. Looks like Habu is making a sealed move here.5 minutes ago from web
- 26. P-7e, Gote thought this vanguard pawn advancement would be something.. Controversy on the board was beginning.7 minutes ago from web
- 25. S-3f It's a preparation for the combination attack on 2nd file using the Silver and Rook. Sente thought P-7e would be no problem.9 minutes ago from web
- 24. P-7d, Opening the path of kNight jump of N-7c and aiming at P-7e to prevent Sente from opening his Bishop diagonal line.10 minutes ago from web
- 23. S-6h, I'm not sure about the meanings of this move. Why didn't Sente move his Silver to 2g instead.?12 minutes ago from web
- 22. P-8e, Goda's answer is neither of them. He pulled it back to 8e. It's going to be an unusual opening.13 minutes ago from web
- 21. P*8g It's a natural move again. Where will Gote pull back his Rook? 8d or 8b?14 minutes ago from web

- 12. P-9d, It's an unusual move. I'm not sure what it mean right now. But I guess he would advance it to 9e unless Habu played P-9f.21 minutes ago from web
- If he planned to use it horizontally as well, he should have pull it back to 2f or 2e.24 minutes ago from web
- 11. R-2h, Habu pulled back his Rook to its original square. This means he was planning to use it vertically only for a while.24 minutes ago from web
- 10. P*2c, Almost compulsory. It's not good for Sente to drop a Pawn to 2c to lose the Bishop.25 minutes ago from web
- So the Gold on 3b cannot move since Rx2c+ is waiting.27 minutes ago from web
- One is having a pawn in hand, Second is Sente's can move his piece to 2e, and the other is to force G on 3b protect the square of 2c.28 minutes ago from web
