Takodori's Entrance to Shogi World

Shogi Tactics #0023

Sente's turn to play This is a position from a Yagura Joseki line where Gote's King retreated from the 22 square. Sente's Rook on 35 is threatened. How do you keep attacking if you are Sente. Please think of three moves.  (For Firefox users, please forward one move from the displayed position to have the problem. Sorry, this cannot be displayed on some smartphones).You can replay the answer line by clicking the arrow directing to the right under the diagram. Also, an exclamation mark sometimes appears there on a specific move during your replay, then click it and you can read my comments on that move. After reading my comments, click the exclamation mark again then the comment window will go away to move forward again.
