Black: Dave - White: Sean - Notes by Sean

1.P-10k P-10g 2.P-10j P-8g 3.ST-10k P-11g 4.FL-10l P-7g 5.P-8k FL-11f 6.P-9k P-9g 7.P-7k FL-7f
Primitive centre phalanx press; added protection to HDs; opening 3rd stepping stone for centre Ln

8.Ln-13o P-17g 9.Ln-11m Ln-5c
Step Ln after 2Ln steps from Dave to ensure safety of front lines

10.P-9j P-5g 11.P-11k EW-5f 12.P-5k Ln-7e 13.P-4k SBr-9f 14.P-3k C-11e 15.P-2k RB-9e
Primitive RB centre file defence

16.SM-2l P-9h 17.Ln-9k Ln-9g
Double centre Ln w/ 5pt opposed influence on Vanguard Line (Static)

18.P-8j P-8h 19.WE-2m P-10h 20.P-4j P-7h 21.P-7j
21.--- RBx4j+
Quick RB snack (dangerous move but first blood was satisfying) ;)
Position after Black 21.P-7j
22.EW-5l P-4g 23.EW-4k FDe-3i 24.AB-5m C-10f 25.EB-4l C-10g 26.P-3j FDe-13i 27.VO-3k WB-5e 28.Wo-3l P-3g
29.P-16k I-7e 30.ST-8k I-8f 31.P-15k I-8g 32.SM-16l P-11h  Escape route formed for FDe guarding VL during opening

33.BM-5o C-7e 34.C-8m P-13g 35.C-7l EW-13f 36.RCh-4p WB-4f 37.EBa-4m C-8f 38.FEl-16m C-7g 39.C-7k P-14g 40.VBe-5l VO-3f 41.LD-6m P-2g 42.EW-4j FEl-3e 43.P-3i FEl-2f 44.Wo-5j Ph-7c 45.WE-4k Ph-5e
Phalanx generally progressed with infantry up front; Dave's right attack answered with Ph deployment and additional lines opened for continued support (with the thought that his attack is premature and will run out of steam without full support)
I wasn't expecting the Phoenix manoeuvre, it is well placed. The attack though is just to gain time, space and mater. Dave

46.VO-3j NB-2d 47.WT-3l SD-3e 48.FL-8l FCh-3a  Dave's attack focusing on 3rd file so additional artillery placed on 3rd file

49.P-13k FDex13k 50.EW-13l FDe-13i 51.FEl-13j FDe-9e  Took bait and retreated high ranking demon after FEl attack

52.I-7m HD-6h 53.D-3p P-15g 54.P-8i FDe-8f 55.C-8j Px8i 56.Cx8i I-8h 57.C-8j SBr-8g
Carefully played center moves w/in Ln influence being careful not to let opposing Ln promote; shifted SBr from King's file to support weak spot in phalanx (though it may be a liability for the king's safety)  (I was concerned about your Lion promoting :) Dave

58.I-7l ST-10f 59.I-7k I-11e 60.LD-8m FH-10e 61.D-7l AB-13e  Bolstering center

62.EB-3k EB-14f 63.SB-2m P-14h  Beginning EB threat to promote to Ln in midgame
I think a Lion has less value as the board thins out. Dave

64.I-6j HDx6j 65.HDx6j P-6g 66.FL-7k P-6h 67.EW-4i GD-6f
Questionable attack on opposing Iron; bait taken for psychological reasons; reinforced left center

68.P-3h VM-3c  Killing the 3P would be foolish, solid answer instead is bolstering the file

69.EB-2j ST-9f 70.VO-3i WBf-8e 71.WE-2i EBa-14e 72.HD-6k ST-11g 73.FL-6j FL-6g 74.D-7k S-8d
Solid development to weak areas in phalanx; calm defense in the face of imminent attack on the left

75.FL-5i S-7e 76.AB-5n P-5h 77.FL-4h EW-5g   I expected 77---Px4h 78.EWx4h here. Dave
Not taking FL bait... from any position; 3rd file still under pressure when FL broke the dam

78.FLx3g VOx3g 79.Px3g SDx3g 80.VOx3g VMx3g 81.EW-3h VM-3f   3rd file collapse; attack stalled, VM retreated
82.EBa-6m VBe-5f 83.VBe-3j AB-4d 84.EWx2g FEl-4h
Favorite move of the game so far... threat to FEl answered by threatening the EB (a hugely important piece)

85.EWx3f FElx2j
crucial loss of second Ln possibility (morale up) ;)
I value the Eastern Barbarian less so both happy ;) Dave

86.VBex2j Wox3f 87.RCh-3o EF-5d 88.VBe-1i EW-4h 89.VBe-2h S-7f 90.Wo-4i FDe-8c
Calm defense to multiple direct threats on left flank

91.B-5l SM-2f 92.R-4l BD-2e 93.I-11m NB-1d 94.SBr-8l OK-2d 95.SMo-4p OK-3e
left phalanx temporarily bolstered

96.RB-9m P-11i 97.PS-2n C-11h 98.B-4k ST-10g
Right center attack initiated

99.P-7i GBd-9f 100.ST-7j Ky-11d
deployed the last two pieces in the way to build the Hikarigakoi (Shining Castle)

To be continued...
Position after White 100.--- Ky-11d
