I'm not going to change the previous set of pictures, but I like this background better. Hopefully the symbols on this set of pieces makes it easier for any non-Japanese-reading fans to follow along. Here are moves 11-20.
NOTE: I have added commentary now that the game is over.

Now that I feel I have my king pretty secure, I begin with the strategy that worked well last time: advancing my rook pawn. Meanwhile, Ric is moving his king to a more secure location.

While Ric continues to move his pieces for a more secure king, I begin what I believe is called climbing the pole. Since my rook is protecting the 8 file, and since I cannot advance my pawn further, as it will simply be set back (this you will see when you read the commentary on the first game), I send the silver general (the moon piece) on a mission of infiltration. Though Ric's king is being safely nestled into one corner, I know I cannot break through until I obtain more pieces from my opponent that I can begin dropping behind enemy lines. Thus, I attack his weaker flank with hopes for a breakthrough and a gain in material.
