2.P-7e P-5d
(diagram 1)






Gote pushes the 5th file Pawn with 2...P-5d just after Sente shows the attitude he wants Haya ISHIDA . The P-5d has a mean to disturb Sente's Haya ISHIDA . If Sente still seletcts Haya ISHIDA , how Gote plays ?

Sente slides his Rook to 7h as his first plan . But this move makes weak points in Sente's camp . Gote exchanged the Bishops and dropped one with 4...B*4e . Sente seems to protect it by dropping a Bishop . How Gote play ?
