With the popularity of the Gokigen Nakabisha, it almost looks
old-fashioned to see someone close the bishop diagonal like this.
It seems like Moriuchi was impressed by the way Kubo played him
in the play-off game to challenge for the Osho title and wanted
to give it a try himself.

Moriuchi has never played this classic Nakabisha in an official game
before, but one can be certain that he has studied it thoroughly.

This game looked to become a double anaguma, but Habu instead plays the
Kushikatsugakoi, a type of anaguma where the king is placed outside the
opponent's bishop diagonal. The weak point of this castle is 9g, so
Moriuchi also abandons the anaguma to play a normal Mino castle, which
gives him an easier way to play an edge attack.

Now the game suddenly ends in sennichite. A big surprise for the
professionals following the game in the press room. Habu seemed to
have the advantage and a replay would give Moriuchi the black pieces.
Particularly, the variation 69.N5c= Sx5c +Px5c P*5b +Px6c looks very
promising for black. However, when asked after the game, Habu pointed
out that things are not so clear after 69.N5c= Sx5c +Px5c +B2f P3e
+B4d S*5d S*3b. Indeed, after for example G4e +Bx4e Sx4e +Bx3e S5d
P9f the attack on the head of the black king looks quite strong. Going
for sennichite might have been the best decision here.
