Chu Shogi #5 KaijiAUT vs dax00

2五馬

7七角

☗3三角成☖同豹

There is a remarkable difference in the way we have each taken an approach toward this game. Truly a battle of "easy way" versus "hard way". This will be very difficult for Evert to analyse, if he intends to do so.

I play 11十角 here. Maybe I'll take the 飛 later.

This game feels different to our previous games, and I am not sure where we are heading to. I am trying to hold myself many options open and not to get into a stiff position to early.

I am capable of playing in numerous ways. For this game, I have decided to play the "purest" chu shogi possible.

7五獅

Very nice  

10十一豹

仲人が仲人

11八馬

10五歩

6六角

This is the current position. I don't have a move yet. Still deciding between 5 options.

You play as if you are a bit lost in this position. Some weird decisions.

7七獅

9六仲

7八歩

I feel like I got too much value too easily. Maybe the holiday season has impacted this game.

同獅いぐい

Srry I don't have time now to look up correct notation now. 

And yes I am again doing mistakes. 

You'll have to wrestle positional control away from me, if you want any chance here. Easier said than done.

10四馬

I thought it'd be a good change of pace to share one of my ongoing games. Current position:

My analysis: ☗同麒☖10六馬☗7七竜☖3三飛☗10七銀☖9五馬☗6七竜☖6五角☗9六銀☖8四馬☗9七歩☖11十角成☗同豹☖6三飛☗10九竪☖10二竪☗8八麒☖10九竪成☗同豹☖10三銀☗8六麒☖10二馬☗10五銀

It looks as if I should be able to defend the analysis position to grind out an endgame win, but that does not look comfortable at all. However, I don't expect for Sente to remotely approach my line, since he hasn't shown half as much fighting spirit.
