Shogi Opening
A shogi opening ( ) is the sequence of initial moves of a shogi game before the middle game. The more general Japanese term for the beginning of the game is ()''.'' A '' jōseki'' () is the especially recommended sequence of moves for a given opening that was considered balanced play at one point in time for both sides by professional players. (However, some ''s'' have become outdated when they are reevaluated to no longer give balanced play.) ''s'' also typically include commentary about the possible reasons to deviate from the especially regarding blunders. Note that not all openings have ''s''. For example, trap openings like Demon Slayer, while they may have standard moves, are considered to favor one player and are not balanced play. Thus, the Demon Slayer opening is not a jōseki. Introduction The very first opening moves in most games are pawn pushes. In particular, most games start with two types of pawn pushes. A player can move the rook pawn forward (P-26) ...

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 ...

Feint Static Rook
Feint is a French term that entered English via the discipline of swordsmanship and fencing. Feints are maneuvers designed to distract or mislead, done by giving the impression that a certain maneuver will take place, while in fact another, or even none, will. In military tactics and many types of combat, there are two types of feints: feint attacks and feint retreats. Attacks A feint attack is designed to draw defensive action towards the point under assault. It is usually used as a diversion to force the enemy to concentrate more manpower in a given area, to weaken the opposing force in another area. Unlike a related diversionary maneuver, the demonstration, a feint involves actual contact with the enemy. Retreats A feint retreat, or feigned retreat, is performed by briefly engaging the enemy, then retreating. It is intended to draw the enemy pursuit into a prepared ambush, or to cause disarray. For example, the Battle of Hastings was lost when Saxons pursued the Norman cav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
First File Rook
In shogi, First File Rook (一間飛車 ''ikkenbisha'' or ''ichigenbisha'') is a Static Rook surprise opening in which the player's rook supports an attack on the player's rightmost edge file. The player may also attempt to move the lance first and set the rook behind it to attack via the first file, but this is rarely to no used in professional play, since white can counterattack by pushing their rook pawn. See also * 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.

Sleeve Rook
In shogi, Sleeve Rook (袖飛車 ''sodebisha,'' also translated as ''Right Third File Rook, Sideways Rook'' or ''Sidestepped Rook'') is a Static Rook opening in which the rook is moved to the third file if played by Black or the seventh file if played by White. Aside from being its own opening, a Sleeve Rook formation is used in some variations of several different openings. For instance, there are Sleeve Rook variations of the Double Fortress and of different Static Rook vs Ranging Rook openings. History The Sleeve Rook opening is one of the oldest shogi openings appearing around the same time as the Black's Static Rook vs White's Traditional Ranging Rook type of openings and the Wrong Diagonal Bishop (thus predating other old openings such as Fortress, etc). The adjacent diagram shows a game from 1614 between Sansa Hon'inbō (Black) and (White), the first Meijin. Hon'inbō is playing a Sleeve Rook position against Ōhashi's Static Rook.

Iijima Bishop Pullback
In shogi, Iijima Bishop Pullback or Iijima's Back Bishop (飯島流引き角 ''Iijima-ryuu hiki kaku'') is a less common defensive Static Rook opening used against a Ranging Rook opponent. It has been used in both Black and White positions by professional players. It is characterized by not opening the bishop's diagonal with a pawn push (P-34 or P-76) and instead moving the bishop back (to 31 if played by White or 79 if played by Black) so that it can then exit one's camp via the central (5th) file, which has been opened by advancing the central pawn. With the bishop out of way, it possible to castle the king into a Left Mino castle. The opening is named after professional player Eiji Iijima who has won the Masuda Award in 2009 for developing the strategy. vs Central Rook The example here is an Iijima Bishop Pullback position played by White against a Central Rook position played by Black.

Snowroof
In shogi, Snowroof or Snow Roof Fortress (雁木 ''gangi'', lit. 'goose-wooden') is a Static Rook opening that characteristically uses a Snowroof castle. It is named after the covered sidewalks (雁木造) connected to buildings in Niigata Prefecture. Originating in the Edo period, the opening had been a less common one after World War II although it was popular in the prewar era. However, around 2017, the opening has become popular with professional shogi players. The Snowroof structure often appears in computer shogi games. Characteristics For Black, this castle positions the king on the 69 square while two golds are at the ears of king (78, 58) and the two silvers are on 67 and 57. The Snowroof castle is strong against attacks directly from above, especially attacks around the central file. Naitō (1981) notes that the Snowroof was once very popular and had a reputation for being very difficult for a Fortress opponent to defeat. However, by 1981, the Snowroof ...

Double Wing Attack
In shogi, Double Wing Attack or simply Wing Attack or Centre Game (相掛かり or 相懸り ''aigakari'') is a Double Static Rook opening in which both sides directly advance their rook pawns forward on the second and eighth files toward their opponent's bishop often with the first several moves on each side being identical or very similar. History and general discussion The Double Wing Attack is one of the most traditional openings dating back to over 250 years ago. Double Wing openings have two general variations. The first one has both bishop diagonals open (that is, P-76 and P-34) while the second type has bishop diagonals closed. The open bishop diagonal variations were most common historically being played from the 1700s and throughout the first part of the twentieth century. However, in modern shogi, the term ''Aigakari'' typically refers to the closed bishop diagonal variations. One reason is that the open bishop diagonal position shown in the adjacent diagra ...
