1.P7g-7f 00:00:00 00:00:00
2.P3c-3d 00:00:00 00:01:00
3.P2g-2f 00:02:00 00:01:00
4.P5c-5d 00:02:00 00:02:00
5.K5i-6h 00:04:00 00:02:00
Here 5.S4h is played more often, but then white can go for the
Mukaibisha with 6.B3c. This looks bad for white after 7.Bx3c+ Nx3c
B*5c and black can make a promoted bishop, but white can counter by
B*5e and there is no way to defend the white bishop promotion. With
the king on 6h, black can defend with N*7g after B*5e.
6.P4c-4d 00:04:00 00:10:00
After seeing 5.K6h, Tanigawa decides to give up his plans to play a
Furibisha opening and plays Yagura instead.
7.P2f-2e 00:07:00 00:10:00
8.B2b-3c 00:07:00 00:10:00
9.S3i-4h 00:07:00 00:10:00
Without the king on 6h, black can exchange bishops on 2d before white
can complete his Yagura. However, in this position black can not develop
the bishop in time, so white can safely move into the Yagura castle.
10.G6a-5b 00:07:00 00:11:00
11.P5g-5f 00:09:00 00:11:00
12.G5b-4c 00:09:00 00:12:00
13.G4i-5h 00:10:00 00:12:00
14.G4a-3b 00:10:00 00:14:00
15.S7i-7h 00:13:00 00:14:00
16.S3a-2b 00:13:00 00:18:00
17.P6g-6f 00:17:00 00:18:00
18.K5a-4a 00:17:00 00:22:00
19.B8h-7i 00:17:00 00:22:00
20.B3c-4b 00:17:00 00:31:00
21.K6h-7g 00:18:00 00:31:00
22.S2b-3c 00:18:00 00:32:00
23.G5h-6g 00:18:00 00:32:00
24.P8c-8d 00:18:00 00:50:00
25.K7g-8h 00:39:00 00:50:00
26.P8d-8e 00:39:00 00:50:00
27.G6g-7g!? 00:39:00 00:50:00
Highly unusual castle. The normal development is 27.S7g followed by G7h.
The idea behind 27.G7g is that black can start the fight immediately
because there are no loose pieces in his castle.
28.S7a-7b 00:39:00 00:59:00
29.S4h-5g 00:47:00 00:59:00
30.P7c-7d 00:47:00 01:22:00
31.S5g-4f 00:52:00 01:22:00
32.S7b-7c 00:52:00 01:22:00
After the game, 32.P6d, followed by S6c and N7c was analyzed. This seems
to be the more natural attack against the black castle with the gold on
7g. A later P6e Px6e Nx6e attacks this gold.
33.P3g-3f 00:53:00 01:22:00
34.S7c-6d 00:53:00 01:28:00
35.P3f-3e 01:21:00 01:28:00
36.P7d-7e 01:21:00 01:35:00
37.S7h-6g!? 01:23:00 01:35:00
A small surprise. Habu has a made a position that is ready to fight and
combined with 35.P3e a high pace game was expected. Instead, Habu switches
to defense here. He has played Tanigawa so often, that he knows more than
anyone else how strong Tanigawa is in mutual attacking games. This is
probably the reason why he tries to vary the pace of the game a little
in an attempt to throw Tanigawa off balance.
38.P7ex7f 01:23:00 01:52:00
39.S6gx7f 01:23:00 01:52:00
40.P8e-8f 01:23:00 01:52:00
41.P8gx8f 01:23:00 01:52:00
42.S6d-7e 01:23:00 01:52:00
43.S7fx7e 01:24:00 01:52:00
44.B4bx7e 01:24:00 01:52:00
45.G6i-7h 01:27:00 01:52:00
46.P3dx3e 01:27:00 02:13:00
It seems white has done well. Even beginning players are told that
exchanging an attacking silver for a defending silver is good. However,
Tanigawa admitted after the game that he had no idea how to continue from
here, so the shape with P6d, S6c and N7c might have been better.
47.P*7f 01:40:00 02:13:00
48.B7e-4b 01:40:00 02:44:00
49.S4fx3e 01:42:00 02:44:00
50.P*8e 01:42:00 02:47:00
51.B7i-4f! 01:50:00 02:47:00
Well-timed counter. 51.Px8e P*8f is bad for black, but 51.B4f forces
white to drop the silver he just exchanged.
52.P5d-5e 01:50:00 02:52:00
53.B4fx5e 01:56:00 02:52:00
54.S*6d 01:56:00 02:52:00
White wants to play 54.P6d, but then 55.P2d Px2d P*2b is good for black.
Gx2b is awful shape, Sx2b fails to Sx4d and Px8f is simply answered by
Px2a+.
55.B5e-4f 02:13:00 02:52:00
56.P8ex8f 02:13:00 02:52:00
57.P*8c 02:14:00 02:52:00
58.R8bx8c 02:14:00 02:54:00
59.P*8g 02:14:00 02:54:00
The point. Black can fight at the head of the king and this gets the
white rook in trouble. Still, Habu was far from confident in this
position. The reason is that his silver on the right soon becomes an
idle piece on 2f.
60.P8fx8g+ 02:14:00 02:56:00
61.G7hx8g 02:14:00 02:56:00

82.P*7d 03:01:00 03:17:00
83.B7b-6c+ 03:02:00 03:17:00
84.B*5f 03:02:00 03:17:00
85.P6f-6e! 03:29:00 03:17:00
Great play by Habu. The silver on 2f may be in an awful spot, the
white rook is in much more trouble. 86.Bx6e fails to Sx7d.
86.G4c-5c? 03:29:00 03:19:00
The losing move. This just helps black, who wanted to play +Bx7d anyway.
The only fighting chance was 86.Bx4g+ and after 87.Sx7d R8d things are
not so easy with white having a strong promoted bishop.
87.+B6cx7d 03:31:00 03:19:00
88.R8e-8b 03:31:00 03:19:00
89.P5e-5d 03:31:00 03:19:00

94.R8b-6b 03:31:00 03:34:00
95.P*2c 03:31:00 03:34:00
96.G3bx2c 03:31:00 03:40:00
97.R2h-5h 03:34:00 03:40:00
Resigns 03:34:00 03:41:00
White can not avoid the loss of major material without compensation:
98.G5e is the only move, but then 99.+P7c is very severe. 100.Nx7c
+Bx7c, 100.R6a +P7b and 100.R9b +B6d are all winning for black. Another
convincing win for Habu, who is already very close to taking the Kio
title from Tanigawa.
