Hamshogi Walkthrough Video on Youtube - Naked King

Recently I found many Hamshogi Walkthrough Videos on Youtube. Here is the one beting Hamster in Naked King handicap.

YouTube: Hamshogi, Naked King handicap

This is the line from the start to the end with my comments. 

1. ...   K-4b     2.P-9f   

*You advanced the left edge pawn. This is the preparation of moving your Bishop from 8h to 9g.

K-3b     3.B-9g   
*Please confirm your Bishop goes to 3a now. The opponent's King is suddenly in danger.
K-2b     4.P-2f   
*You advanced your Rook's pawn. It's generally importatnt to activate your Rook and Bishop well in shogi. Both are called Major Pieces.
K-3b     5.P-2e   
*You advanced your Rook's pawn again. The pawn is supported by your Rook.
K-2a     6.P-2d   
*You advanced your Rook's pawn third time. The pawn advancement supported by Rook is one of the basic tactics in shogi.
K-1a     7.P-2c+ 
*Your Pawn got promoted on 2c. The promoted pawn can move to 7 squares as a Gold does while unpromoted one can move to one. In other words, a promoted pawn is as seven times capable as an unpromoted pawn. Making promoted pawn is one of the basic tactics in shogi.
K-2a     8.+P-2b 
*Checkmate. The promoted pawn is supported by your Rook on 2h. So the King cannot take it.
resigns
