Quest of the lost systems |
|
Chapter One: Yagura |
Section 3: The Morishita System |
From your tour guide:
Puzzled by (b)R-1g? That makes two of us. But allow me to present what I
thought. After having one P in hand, Black is now determined to take the
offensive. In due course, he will have to open the Bishop path by P-4e.
The R on 1g guards the N on 3g, otherwise en prise. If you have any other
ideas, please join in! |
Next I'll show you the game in which White took the bo-gin. Again from
the meijin-sen played by Nakahara(b) and Yonenaga(w) on April 10 & 11,
1991.

Diagram 4. Up to (b)P*5d.
Against the bo-gin, Black pushes his P on the 6th file to place the right
S on 6f. This is another joseki to remember. The last move on Diagram 4,
(b)P*5d, did the trick to lead the game in Black's favor. If White counters
with Gx5d, then will follow: Bx7c+, Sx7c, N*4f. Nakahara actually won this
game in a breeze.
