* Commentary by Arimori Kōzō 8-Dan.1P-342P-763P-444R-78Shitate engages in a Dual Swinging Rook game.5S-326P-757S-438K-489B-3310P-7411Px7412Rx7413R-22Uwate selects Opposing Rook - a classic in Double Swinging Rook games.14R-7615S-8216S-38Building the Mino castle.17G41-5218S-6819P-2420S-7721P-2522K-3923K-6224G69-5825P*73Uwate abandons building a Right Yagura and opts for Peerless Golds instead.26P-8627P-3528P-8529K-7230S-6630.S-8631.P-26This can be dangerous.31.P-4532.Bx33+33.Nx3334.R-16This would've allowed Shitate to exploit Uwate's lanceless side.31P-2631.P-3632.S-7532.Px3633.P-2634.Px2635.Rx26Trading 2 pawns puts Uwate in good shape.33.Px37+34.Sx37Shitate can now build a Yagura, putting Uwate at a disadvantage.32Px2633Rx2634P*2735R-2436B-7737P-4538P-46The fighting begins. This will be a battle between 3rd File Rook + Mino and Opposing Rook + Peerless Golds, a common combination even in even (no handicap) games. Uwate hasn't finished his castle with G61-62 yet, and the missing lance on 11 will affect the game as well, in ways to be observed soon.39S-5440Px4541Sx4542S-5542.R-75This works equally well.43.S-3443.R-4444.S-5545.R-4246.S-4447.Bx4448.Rx45will lead to a lot of violence.44.S-5543P-5444S-4644.P*44could do some damage here.45Bx77+45.S-3446.Bx33+47.Nx3348.B*44Uwate will have a hard time defending against two attacks at once.46Nx7747S-3448P*7449Px7450N-6551B*87Uwate wants to eliminate the possibility of R26 from Shitate so as to be able to counterattack with P26 and P64.51.P*4552.Rx7453.P*7354.Rx5455.Px4656.N-53+57.B*8758.P*7659.Bx76+60.R-5661.Gx5362.B*42Uwate is kinda cooked here.52R-6653P-6453.P*45is equally good.54N-53+55Gx5356B*4257R-2358Bx53+59Rx5360G*4461R-63?This rook will become a target in the future - R73 would've been better.62Gx3463B*7764R-5665B-65+66S-4567B-55+68Rx5569+Bx5570S-4471+B-6572G-43By using the gold to capture the silver and reusing it to attack, Shitate is at an advantage here. Meanwhile Uwate is probably crying looking at the wall silver and the Rook on 63 being an easy target.73S-7174S-53+75R-7376S*5277Gx5278Gx5279N*4680G*63??Bad move.80.B*62!was the correct move here.81.Sx6282.Gx6283.K-8284.G*7285.K-9286.Gx7387.Nx7388.R*61would give Shitate a close win.81K-8282Gx7383Nx7384R*61Since this move didn't threaten checkmate, the game turned around and now Uwate has the upper hand.85Nx58+86Gx5887R*8888B*4789+Bx4790Sx4791B*14!Good move, helping Uwate steer towards a clear-cut win.92Rx71+93Kx7194+S-6295K-8296N*9497K-9298S*8199Kx81100+S-71101Kx71102B*44103K-81104Bx88105Px94106G-62107R*89108P*49109P*28110Kx28111Rx49+112R*39113Bx47+114Gx47115+Rx47116B*63117K-92118Bx74+119+R-58Shitate resigned, and Uwate claims victory in a typical Double Swinging Rook game.
