1. E3+5 …………
Red uses Elephant Opening.
1. ………… C8=5
Black counters with Left Central Cannon. As statistic, the most common use opening against Elephant Opening is C8=4 for Cross Palace Cannon opening.
2. H8+7 H8+7 3. H2+3 …………
From Elephant Opening, Red transform to Screen Horses Defense, which is most effective to against Central Cannon.
If Red played C2=4, planning to transform to Sandwiched Horse variation, this is not so effective as Screen Horse Defense variation.
3. ………… R9=8 4. R1=2 R8+6
Black R8+7 crosses the river to opponent's pawn rank might not ideal. As seen on board, Black's right flank has not developed yet. A better move would be P3+1 to develop his right flank for a balance formation.
5. P3+1 R8=7
Black forces to R8=7, could not allowed Red H3+4 else the situation for Black would getting worse.
6. R2=3 C2+4
Too fast. A better move would be P3+1 to develop his right's flank.
7. P7+1 C2=3
Bad idea. Normally Black C8=7 if Red was central cannon, and the elephant is not linked. However, as seen, Red's is linked elephant.
8. P9+1 …………
Excellent move. Now Black need to save his right's cannon.
8. ………… H2+3 9. R9+3 …………
Black will loses his cannon....
9. ………… R1=2 10. C8-2 …………
Good move. If Red C8=9, then Black C3=2.

Excellent move! Starting from here, Red has gained few initiatives.
12. ………… R7-1 13. E7+5 R7-1
14. H3+2 H3+5 15. H2+3 …………
Good move.
15. ………… C5=4
A better choice would be C5-1. This is because attack from center is the only hope for Black.

18. H7+6 R2+4 19. H6+7 C4+1
