In the diagram 1 , Sente already has difficulty to attack Gote's camp or advanced his own camp . If Sente don't start attacking , Gote will push his Pawn ; 4d --> 4e , and Sente must back his Silver 3g .

Then Sente start attacking with P-3e , and game will advance like following moves .

12. P-3e Px3e
13. Sx3e P-8f!
14. Px8f P*8e!
15. Px8e Rx8e
(diagram 2)










In diagram 2 , Gote gets a fork on 3e Silver and 8i Knight . Sente can't protect both piecies and Sente will get bad position .


Sente can avoid this fork by 15.P-2d instead of 15.Px8e . But in this line , Sente's camp will advance bad formation P-8h . I will show one example moves below , and Gote will get advantage .

In the diagram 1 , Sente has made "Hayakuri Gin" formation ; S-4f , but if he wants to start attacking with P-3e , he must move K-6h or P-1f before attacking . Why he needs such a move .

If he starts attacking 10.P-3e , the game will advance like following moves .

(diagram 2)

10. P-3e? Px3e
11. Sx3e P*3d
12. P-2d Px2d
13. Sx2d Sx2d
14. Rx2d B*1e
(diagram 2)









Then Gote gets a fork on King and Rook . In the diagram 2 , Sente has a lost position .
This is because , Sente must move K-6h or P-1f . By these moves , Sente can avoid this line .

(diagram 3)

10. P-3e? Px3e
11. Sx3e P*3d
12. S-4f P-4d
(diagram 3)











In addition to shown above , Sente can avoid this fork on King and Rook by 12.S-4f . But we think this line isn't good . Because Sente has started attacking once , but he gets no effective result but one Pawn in hand . And Gote will get better position with "Koshikakegin" formation . Sente can't attack any more .
