Shogi
, also known as Japanese chess, is a Strategy game, 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 chess, Western chess, chaturanga, xiangqi, Indian chess, and janggi. ''Shōgi'' means general's (''shō'' ) board game (''gi'' ). Shogi was the earliest historical chess-related 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 Mercenary#15th to 18th centuries, mercenaries switching loyalties when captured instead of being killed. The earliest predecessor of the game, chaturanga, originated in India in the 6th century, and the game was likely transmitted to Japan via China or Korea sometime after the Nara period."Shogi".

Ranging Rook
Ranging Rook or Swinging Rook (振り飛車 ''furibisha'') openings in shogi position the rook to the center or left of the player's board to support an attack there. Ranging Rook strategies used in Ranging Rook vs Static Rook are among the oldest of shogi strategies attested in the historical documents that first describe the rules of shogi around 1600. Description Types of Ranging Rook Traditionally, Ranging Rook has been used as a defensive strategy for White against Static Rook openings played by Black. White's rook can be moved flexibly to counteract Black's attacks. These types of White openings are named simply Ranging Rook (振り飛車 ''furibisha''). In describing the game positions of both opponents, the term is Static Rook vs Ranging Rook (居飛車対振り飛車 ''ibisha tai furibisha''). In these games, Black has the initiative, and White quickly builds a defense by castling the king and seeks counterattacking opportunities. By default, the ...

Static Rook
Static Rook (居飛車 ''ibisha'') Shogi opening, openings is one of two major opening strategies in shogi. In the opening, the major piece of the rook fights from its starting position on the right side of the board (the 2nd file for Black, Sente, and the 8th file for White, Gote). In contrast, the other major opening deploys the rook to the center or left half of the board in the opening, and is known as Ranging Rook or Swinging Rook (振り飛車 furibisha). Summary Compared with Ranging Rook, leaving the rook in its starting position on the 2nd file (8th file for Gote), or in that general area on the right side, can be a more natural idea for a strategy. Although the rook does move in strategies where it's placed on the 3rd file (7th for Gote), such as with Sleeve Rook, or on the 4th file (6th for Gote), such as with Right Fourth File Rook, these openings are still broadly classified as Static Rook, rather than Ranging. The castles mainly used in Double Static Rook games are For ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
