 Interesting how you positioned your generals. What is that defence that you are using? Does it have a name?

P-2f

This is the famous "seat of my pants" defence! Actually I'm not sure if it has a name, I'm something of a novice at shogi, I'm much more familiar with opening theory in chess than shogi.

6. G-3b

Don't worry, I'm a newbie too!

P-3f

Glad I'm not the only one!
