| Section 2: Tsukata Special |
Yonenaga was forced into long deliberation, trying to come up with an
idea to cope with all these threats. After 75 minutes, he played...
K-4h, P*2g; G-3i, P*6h;
Black's camp received a deadly blow with brilliant P-drops: After dropping
a Pawn on 2g which would be hard for the opponent to take, Tanigawa dropped
another P at 6h, which Yonenaga simply could not get rid of.
Moves afterwards: (from black)
P*8g, P-6i+; Bx2b+, Sx2b; S-8h, P-2h+; Gx2h, B*5e;
R-6e, +P-6h; Rx5e, +Px7h;
In exchange for B, Tanigawa took G, with S practically in hand (2-mai-gae),
thereby establishing dominance over Yonenaga at this point. From then on:
(from Black)
Rx5c+, G*5b; +R-5f, +Px8h; B*9f, S*6c;
As was shown above, Tanigawa lavishly used pieces just captured to solidify
his own camp, claiming the victory.
S-7b was said to be the fatal blow, and no one dared to take up the Tsukata
Special thereafter. That is, no one but Tsukata himself. Tsukata alone was
undaunted, revising and developing the strategy to prove his P*2d is viable.
