1P-561.P-262.P-843.P-254.P-245.Px242P-343R-584R-42As I've given up on figuring things out myself, I'm trying to learn how to play fourth-file rook with the mino castle now.5P-556G41-527P-768S-728.K-629.S-6810.K-7211.S-5712.G61-6213.S-569B-7710P-54??I came out of this a pawn down.11Px5412Bx77+13Nx7714B*4414.B*45I was initially planning to do this, but I realized it might be a blunder.15.P-53+14.G61-62This might have been a better way to double-attack this square.15S-7815.N-6516.Bx99+17.P-53+18.L*5519.P*5616.G61-6217.B*5318.G62x5319.Px53+20.Bx5321.Nx53+22.Gx5323.Rx53+24.R-5224.B*5225.G*6226.K-4127.G*5128.K-3229.G62x5225.G*6226.K-4127.+Rx5216G61-62This might have been unnecessary at this point since I was already attacking this square twice.16.P-64This would have prevented this knight from also attacking this square. I don't know if that's really necessary, though. But it would keep my castle from having to get messed up.17S-3818P-64I just pushed this pawn anyway.19K-4820K-6121K-3922K-7123K-2824K-8225P-7526S-32?!I forgot that this silver general was doing the important job of preventing the bishop from being dropped there.27B*3128S-3329Bx42+I started being scared my opponent would drop the rook somewhere on my back rank.30Sx4231R-5632S-6333P-46The opponent's promotion zone was still almost covered.33.R*41!?34.G-51I thought this would have trapped the rook in case it was dropped there.35.Rx21+It wouldn't have actually trapped it, though. Luckily, my opponent didn't drop the rook there.34P-7435P-4536B-3337Px7438Sx7439P*7540Sx7541P*7442P*7643N-8544P-8445P-73+46Nx7347Nx73+48Gx73Things started to fall apart a bit for me.49P-4449.R*6150Bx4451N*4552B*55I was preparing the anti-mino-castle thing. However, I didn't have a gold general or silver general in hand, and the enemy rook was defending the square I wanted to drop my knight on, so it probably wouldn't have worked.53R*36I happened to notice that these rooks were in a place where a knight could fork them.53.P-53+54Bx99+55Rx34I was surprised by this move, but things eventually worked out with the knight fork.56P*3357R34-3658Bx17+59Lx1760N*4461P-53+62Nx3663Px36After the opponent made this move, I had little idea what to do to stop my defenses falling.64Gx5365Nx53+66L*5567R-4668L-57+69+Nx4270+B-5571S*3772+Bx4672.+L-5673.G*4574.+Bx4675.Sx4676.R*9977.B*8878.R-98+79.G-7980.+Lx4681.Gx4682.S*7783.Sx7784.Px77+83.G-8984.Sx88+85.Gx9886.+Sx7887.P*7488.Gx7489.B*6390.K-7376.R*9877.G-7978.P-77+79.G-8980.Rx97+81.Sx7782.+Rx8783.G-8884.+R-9685.B*4186.+R-9987.P*8988.P*7489.B*5190.G-8391.N*9592.+Rx9573Sx46∞I thought I had the advantage here, but I had no idea how to bring it home with these annoying fortresses around the enemy king. I had the idea to make a battery with the rooks like this, but the enemy silver general seemed like it would have defended against that.74+L-47?!I was running out of time in byoyomi when I made this move. It probably wasn't that good.74.P*5675.P*5876.+Lx5877.G69x5874.+L-5675.S46-3775Sx4776P-77+I thought it might have been a good idea to open this rank.77Sx7778R*98?!Most of the squares in the rank I had gotten open were still covered. I should have probably have done something else instead of dropping the rook this far away, though.79S-6880P*77?80.P*76This probably would have been better as a dangling pawn, but I didn't realize that my opponent could defend against P*77.81P*7982P-78+83Gx7884P*7685B*6186G-7287N*9588K-7389B*4190P-8591Bx85+92R*83??92.R*82I could have tried this instead, but I was probably losing anyway. In reality, I just forgot about this knight.93Nx83+Losing this game was somewhat painful. I felt that I had a come very close to winning.94K-6294.Kx83+−95+N-5296K-7197Bx72+I think I played pretty well until the endgame at least.
