📖 Strategies & Castles

Step through famous shogi castles and opening plans on a board you can scrub back and forth. Every move sequence is solver-checked for legality.

Castles

Mino Castle

The standard castle for ranging-rook openings. Compact, quick to build, and strong against side attacks.

Boat Castle

The basic castle for static-rook play against ranging rook. Fast to build and flexible for either quick or slow games.

Yagura (Gold Fortress)

The classic castle for double static-rook games. Three generals linked diagonally for great durability.

Opening strategies

Climbing Silver (Bo-gin)

March the silver straight up to break through with the rook. A direct attacking plan and a great first weapon for beginners.

Central Rook (Naka-bisha)

Swing the rook to the central 5th file and press down the middle. An easy-to-understand ranging-rook plan.
