Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack
Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack or Left Silver-5g Rapid Attack or Left Silver-5g Quick Attack (5七銀左急戦 ''go-nana gin hidari kyuusen'') is a fast attacking strategy in shogi used with several different Static Rook openings often played by Black against Ranging Rook positions played by White. It is characterized by moving the left silver from its start position on 79 to the 57 square. The Static Rook position is usually combined with a Boat castle. Against Fourth File Rook When Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack is used against a Fourth File Rook opponent, Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack often transitions to the (4六銀左 ''yon-roku gin hidari'') class of openings. The Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack openings against Fourth File Rook include the Yamada joseki (山田定跡 ''yamada jouseki''), the Saginomiya joseki (鷺宮定跡 ''saginomiya jouseki''), and or Pawn-45 Rapid Engage (4五歩早仕掛け ''yon-go fu haya-shikake'') among others. The opening starts by the usual Stati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Shogi
, also known as Japanese chess, is a strategy board game for two players. It is one of the most popular board games in Japan and is in the same family of games as Western chess, ''chaturanga, Xiangqi'', Indian chess, and '' janggi''. ''Shōgi'' means general's (''shō'' ) board game (''gi'' ). Western chess is sometimes called (''Seiyō Shōgi'' ) in Japan. Shogi was the earliest chess-related historical game to allow captured pieces to be returned to the board by the capturing player. This drop rule is speculated to have been invented in the 15th century and possibly connected to the practice of 15th century mercenaries switching loyalties when captured instead of being killed. The earliest predecessor of the game, chaturanga, originated in India in the sixth century, and the game was likely transmitted to Japan via China or Korea sometime after the Nara period."Shogi".

Opposing Rook
In shogi, Opposing Rook (向かい飛車 ''mukaibisha,'' also Opposite Rook, Second File Rook) is a class of Ranging Rook openings in which the player's rook swings over to the second file if played by White or the eighth file if played by Black. The ''opposing'' name is used since if the Opposing Rook player's opponent is playing Static Rook, then the Opposing Rook player's rook will be on the same file as the opponent and the rooks will be facing or opposing each other. In order to play Opposing Rook, the player's bishop must be moved from its starting position (88 or 22 squares). This is usually done by either moving the bishop to the seventh file for Black or the third file for White or by exchanging bishops. If the opponent initiates the bishop exchange, the Opposing Rook player will capture the opponent's bishop with their rook. Traditional Opposing Rook White's Opposing Rook The opening starts by the usual four-move sequence that characterizes Static Rook vs Rang ...

Fujii System
In shogi, the Fujii System (藤井システム ''fujii shisutemu'') is a set of Fourth File Rook strategies used against various Static Rook strategies. It was created as a way to attack Static Rook Anaguma castle positions. It is named after Takeshi Fujii who invented the strategies, which awarded him the prestigious Kōzō Masuda Award in 1998. The system can also be applied for Third File Rook strategies. Overview The Fujii system is a set of strategies for Fourth and Third File Rook openings developed by Takeshi Fujii. In particular, the Fujii System attracted a good deal of attention as a countermeasure against Static Rook Anaguma with Fujii himself playing a prominent role. As described below, the Fujii System includes countermeasures against Left Mino castles as well as Anaguma castles. In the latter case, characteristically, if the opponent is aiming for an Anaguma, the strategy consists of initiating a fight before the king can be completely castled into the Anaguma ...

Climbing Silver
Climbing Silver (棒銀 ''bōgin'', literally "pole-silver") is a shogi strategy. Climbing Silver involves advancing a silver upward along with an advanced or dropped pawn supported by the rook aiming to break through the opponent's camp on their bishop's side. Many different Static Rook shogi openings include a Climbing Silver component. For instance, Climbing Silver can played as part of Double Wing Attack, Fortress, or Bishop Exchange openings. (However, there are other variants of these openings that don't include Climbing Silver.) Climbing Silver can also be used against Ranging Rook opponents as well. Diagonal Climbing Silver or Oblique Climbing Silver (斜め棒銀 ''naname bōgin'') is a Climbing Silver attack involving the left silver which moves diagonally from its starting position on 7i to attack on the third or second files. This type of Climbing Silver is typical in Static Rook vs Ranging Rook games. Positioning In the adjacent diagrams, the Black's ...

Reclining Silver
In shogi, Reclining Silver (腰掛け銀 ''koshikakegin'') is a piece formation used in different Double Static Rook openings. It may also be played in Double Ranging Rook openings as well and in Right Fourth File Rook (Static Rook) positions against Ranging Rook positions. The Reclining Silver has the right silver positioned on central file above the central pawn and to the right of the silver is the pawn that was advancing in order to let the silver move through the line of pawns. The silver is said to recline on the seat of pawns. In the adjacent board diagram, both Black and White have created Reclining Silver positions. Black has their silver on 56 (with pawns on 46 and 57) while White has their silver on 54 (pawns on 53, 64). Reclining Silver can often played as a component of several different Static Rook openings such as Double Wing or Bishop Exchange. Clanging Silvers Clanging Silvers (ガッチャン銀 ''gatchan gin'') is an attacking development from a Dou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Right Fourth File Rook
In shogi, Right Fourth File Rook (右四間飛車 ''migi shikenbisha'') is a Static Rook opening in which the rook is positioned on the fourth file if played by Black or the sixth file if played by White. Typically, Right Fourth File Rook develops the right silver into a Reclining Silver attacking structure. Fortress vs Right Fourth File Rook Right Fourth File Rook vs Fourth File Rook A Right Fourth File Rook strategy may be played against a Ranging Rook position such as Fourth File Rook. In a Right Fourth File Rook vs Fourth File Rook game, each player's rook will be directly opposing each other on the fourth file supported by attacking silvers. Below shows an example of Black's Right Fourth File Rook against White's Fourth File Rook. 1. P-76 P-34, 2. P-26 P-44, 3. S-48 R-42. The first six moves are standard Static Rook vs Fourth File Rook piece development. (See: Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack vs Fourth File Rook for explication.) 4. P-46. The Right Fourth Fil ...

Double Fortress
The Double Fortress (相矢倉 or 相櫓 ''aiyagura'') is a shogi opening in which both players construct Fortress formations. Double Fortress games are the most common type of Fortress games found at all levels of play. Historical Fortress Earlier josekis for Fortress in the Edo period (usually spelled 櫓 at that time) were very different from the current josekis. In one variation, White delays pushing their rook pawn (whereas Black delays the rook pawn push in the modern era) and there is an early bishop trade before both players' kings are moved into their castles. In the 1947 Meijin tournament, Masao Tsukada and Yoshio Kimura played an early example of the typical 3. S-77 type of Fortress with 1.P-76 P-84 development found in modern shogi. 1. P-76 P-84 development 3. S-77: Blocking bishop with silver Blocking White's bishop with a silver (and also defending the eighth file from a possible attack) is an older Fortress joseki, which typically ...

Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack
Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack or Left Silver-5g Rapid Attack or Left Silver-5g Quick Attack (5七銀左急戦 ''go-nana gin hidari kyuusen'') is a fast attacking strategy in shogi used with several different Static Rook openings often played by Black against Ranging Rook positions played by White. It is characterized by moving the left silver from its start position on 79 to the 57 square. The Static Rook position is usually combined with a Boat castle. Against Fourth File Rook When Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack is used against a Fourth File Rook opponent, Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack often transitions to the (4六銀左 ''yon-roku gin hidari'') class of openings. The Left Silver-57 Rapid Attack openings against Fourth File Rook include the Yamada joseki (山田定跡 ''yamada jouseki''), the Saginomiya joseki (鷺宮定跡 ''saginomiya jouseki''), and or Pawn-45 Rapid Engage (4五歩早仕掛け ''yon-go fu haya-shikake'') among others.

Static Rook
Static Rook (居飛車 ''ibisha'') openings in shogi typically have the player's rook at its start position, which is the second file (on the 28 square) for Black and the eighth file (on the 82 square) for White. Explanation Static Rook is a set of openings in which the rook remains on its starting square, which is the 28 square if played by Black and the 82 square if played by White. It is also possible to include other openings where the rook moves to another file that is still on the players right side of the board, such as the third file or the fourth file. The reason for including these other openings where the rook is not technically ''static'' is because the typical castle fortifications constructed to the protect the Static Rook player's king are usually the same for these openings. Nonetheless, some shogi theory does categorize these openings with right side rook movement into the same group as Ranging Rook openings despite the disparity in castle formation. A ...

Aphorism
An aphorism (from Greek ἀφορισμός: ''aphorismos'', denoting 'delimitation', 'distinction', and 'definition') is a concise, terse, laconic, or memorable expression of a general truth or principle. Aphorisms are often handed down by tradition from generation to generation. The concept is generally distinct from those of an adage, brocard, chiasmus, epigram, maxim (legal or philosophical), principle, proverb, and saying; although some of these concepts may be construed as types of aphorism. Often, aphorisms are distinguished from other short sayings by the need for interpretation to make sense of them. In ''A Theory of the Aphorism'', Andrew Hui defined an aphorism as "a short saying that requires interpretation." History The word was first used in the '' Aphorisms'' of Hippocrates, a long series of propositions concerning the symptoms and diagnosis of disease and the art of healing and medicine. The often cited first sentence of this work is: "" - "life is shor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
