• 3. R-6h: Tateishi-Style Fourth-File Rook.
• 6. ... G6a-5b: Leaving this gold on 6a is one of the effective way against Tateishi-Style Fourth-File Rook.
• 9. R-7h: Switch to Masuda-Style Ishida. White's P-5d S-6b G-5b formation is different from usual variations of Masuda-Style Ishida: P-6d S-6c G-6a formation is usual. Cf. 30th Meijin match round 3 (below).
• 9. ... P-8f: There are three book moves here: (1) 9. ... P-8f, (2) 9. ... Bx8h+ 10. Sx8h S-8b and (3) 9. ... xxx 10. R-7f Bx8h+ 11. Sx8h.
• 13. ... B*8h 14. Sx8h P*8h+ 15. B*7g +Px9h 16. Bx8f (uc). If White's formation is P-6d S-6c G-6a, this variation is =/+ (White can defend 16. ... xxx 17. R*8b S-7b).
• 13. ... B*8h 14. G-7h Bx7i+ 15. Gx7i S*8h 16. B*6f Sx7i= 17. B*7g Rx6f (uc). If White's formation is P-6d, Black can drop 16. B*5e for 16. B*6f and this variation is +-.
• 14. ... P-5e - 16. R-5d: New strategy, maybe.
• 16. S-6h P-5f 17. Px5f Px8h+ 18. Rx8h Rx8h+ 19. Gx8h Bx6h+ (-+)

• 6. ... K-7a: With this formation, White can't prevent Black's Bear-in-the-Hole.
• 15. S-8h: Bear-in-the-Hole.
• 15. ... G-6c: High-Mino Castle.
• 19. ... P-5d: P-5d formation (cf. 47th Ouza match round 2), which tends to bring a repetition. As Suzuki is White, he doesn't mind it (a repetition is not a draw but a no-contest in Shogi: players change Black and White and play a new game). Keeping P-4d formation is thought to be also Suzuki's strategy. Black can't exchange pawns at 4f, which makes it difficult for Black to find a way to attack.
• 22. ... G-7b: Silver Crown. The position is beginning to be sluggish. I think White's strategy was being succeeded.
• 29. ... R-5b: Gave Black a chance to attack...?
• 33. ... N-3c: How about R-2c?
• 36. R-2a+: It seems +/=, but for me, the position is unclear.
• 58. +P-6d: Bad move. Black should have dropped 58. G*7c to have won.
• 58. ... P*9h 59. K-8i P-9i+ 60. Kx9i: Making time for thinking.
• 60. ... B*6i: Threatmate. The situation was reversed.
• 66. ... N*8g ...: Forced mate.
