How to Play against Mino Castle on the Left Side

If you love swinging Rook and offensive ideas, It would suit you to play Ishida-style opening.
The kernel Ishida idea is to place your Rook on 76 and make it easy to activate your left Knight. In fact nothing is as important as Activating the Knight wherever you swing your Rook on the left!
You play the opening like thus:


▲P-76 △P-34 ▲P-75


... △S-62 ▲P-66 △P-64 ▲R-78 △S-63 ▲K-48 △P-84 ▲G69-58 △K-42 ▲S-38 △P-85 ▲R-76

* No need too afraid of △P-65~△B*28 here because after there is counter attack ▲B*55! △N-33 ▲P-74! The line well appears on the board.


... △S-32 ▲K-39 △K-31 ▲S-68 △G61-52 ▲S-67 △B-33 ▲B-77 △K-22 ▲P-16 △P-14 ▲S-56 △P-24




This position, including similar instances, has been played again and again between masters, and for a long time this Left-Mino castle defense regarded as nemesis of Ishida-style.
They find a very natural move such as ▲K-28, ▲S-45, ▲P-65, ▲P-96, and ▲P-46... leads them a little bit disadvantaged finally. Therefore Ishida-style was once on the edge of extinction.

However, the surprising idea for which we all had been fall occurred recently.
