Gote's turn to play This is a position where Sente's King escaped from 77 to 88 responding to the check with +N67. The Bishop on 34 supports the promoted kNight. Gote's king is in a mate threat since Sente's dragon on 22 is pinning the Gold on 72 and the King on 82 and the Bishop on 63 attacks the Gold twice together with the Dragon. So practically Gote needs to deliver a checkmate. Please checkmate Sente's King. You have a Gold, two Silvers and four Pawns in hand. (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.
This problem is referring to the game of Sadamasu Minami vs Satomi Kana, the 5th Mynavi Joshi Open, played on August 1, 2015
