1.P-7f
[ This opens the bishop's diagonal. ]
1.... P-8d
[ This prepares a path for the rook. It declares a
Static Rook opening for White.]
2.S-6h
[ As long as white has a closed bishop's diagonal,
S-6h can be played. Black has the option to play
Ranging Rook. In this case, the silver should be placed
at 6g after pushing the pawn. If Black wants to play
Static Rook, the bishop's diagonal can be blocked with
S-7g.]
2.... P-3d
[ Now, Black has something to decide. S-7g will lead to a
Static Rook opening. P-6f normally would be followed by a
Ranging Rook opening, although it is possible in Static Rook.
Blocking the diagonal with tha pawn would prevent a bishop
exchange opening. Bishop exchange openings are not easy for
beginners. Bx2b+ is also possible, but it would lead to the
bishop exchange opening with a free development move for White.]
3.P-6f S-6b
[ Protect 5c and keep possible developments to 7c and 6c. Another
possible move is S-7b aiming at S-8c and further development towards
the weak head of Black's bishop.]
4.S-6g
[ This would be very unusual for Static Rook openings. Therefore, it
Black will most probably move into a Ranging Rook opening. The Gold
Fortress is the castle, which is usually used in Static Rook vs.
Static Rook openings, but S-6g would lead to the Silver Fortress
if Black will play Static Rook. Nevertheless, White cannot be shure
about Black's plans...]
4.... P-5d
[ This is possible when playing against Rainging Rook or against Static
Rook.]
5.P-9f
[ The time when, when an edge pawn should or can be pushed, is critical.
Pushing the edge pawn of a castle is more critical than pushing the
edge pawn of the attackers side.
]
5.... G6a-5b
[ The edge pawn is not pushed, because in Ranging Rook openings, attacks will
be on files supported by the rook. It is very difficult to attack on the
edge. Therefore, White doesn't fear P-9e, because this would give White an
extra tempo.
Normally, G6a-5b is the first move for building a Boat castle, the typical
castle of the Static Rook side when playing against Ranging Rook.
Even if Black decides to play Static Rook, it is still possible to move
into the Gold Fortress. G6a-5b strengthen White's castle side. White keeps
the bishop's diagonal open, because this keeps the threat of exchaning
bishops in case Black plans to play Ranging Rook (which is most probably the
case). Exchanging bishops is better for the Static Rook side when playing
agaainst Ranging Rook. G4a-3b would declare to create a Fortess castle, which
normally played in Static Rook vs. Static Rook games.]
6.R-5h
[ Now, a center file Ranging Rook is declared.]
6.... K-4b
[ White moves into the Boat castle. It would still be possible to build
A Fortress.]
7.K-4h
[ Now, Black definitely plays a Ranging Rook openings. It would make no sense
to keep a Static Rook option for Black in mind. Most likely, Black will move
into a Mino castle. The edge pawn has not been pushed to 1f, therefore also
the Bear-in-the-hole castle is possible.]
7.... K-3b
8.K-3h P-1d
[ White's Boat Castle is complete. Black still moves into the Mino Castle.
Pushing an edge pawn is often answered by pushing the opposing edge pawn.]
9.P-1f
[ In the Bear-in-the-Hole Castle, the edge pawn would normally not be pushed.
Therefore, Black will adopt some version of the Mino Castle after building
the basic pattern.]
9.... P-9d
[ Preparing own attack possibilities. L-9c, R-9b would lead to an edge attack,
which would be difficult for Black to defend. In this case, Black would aim
at a counterattack. This moves prevents P9f-9e, an attack move of Black.
Preventing attack moves normally lead to slow games.]
10.K-2h
[ Moving into the Mono Castle.]
10.... S-4b
[ Typical development against Ranging Rook. Now, S6b-5c or S4b-5c is possible.
Normally, the Static Rook side waits some moves until the attack formation
is decided. There is some time, because Black's first order castle is not
created, yet.]
11.S-3h
[ This completes the so-called Incomplete Mino Castle. The other Gold should be
on 5h to create a Complete Mino. The best and most used castles use three
generals to defend the king.]
11.... P-8e
[ Increase preassure to the bishop's head. Black has to be aware of P8e-8f.
Exchanging the pawns would be good for White, because it would open the
Rook file for White. Furthermore, it would be impossible to defend the square
8g if White now could exchange the pawns...]
12.B-7g
[ This is the only defense. If Black would play Static Rook, also a silver could
defend on 7g, but in Ranging Rook openings, the bishop almost always is placed
on 7g against a pawn advanced to 8e.]
12.... S-3c
[ Decision towards a specific attack formation for White. This move aimes at
Black's castle.]
13.P-4f
[ Towards a second stage castle which is stronger at its head.]
13.... P-3e
[ Vanguard pawn opening. The Vanguard pawn must be supported, i.e. S-3d is
recommended.]
14.S-4g
[ Strengthen the castle at the head. There is some need to protect the silver
and to protect the kings side, i.e. G-3h is very recommended.]
14.... S-3d
15.P-5f
[ This is another move towards a slow game. Black does not want to go into
a skirmish at the center file.]
15.... S-5c
[ Support attack of White either towards Black's king or supporting the White
rook pawn. Normally, the Vanguard pawn will further be strengthen.]
16.R-8h
[ It is common in Ranging Rook openings to switch the rook from file to file,
testing the opponent's response. Opposing rooks is the most aggressive version.]
16.... P-4d
[ This signals the start of the middle-game. The pawn will advance to 4e, which will
lead to the first exchange.]
17.G-3h
[ It's time to strengthen the castle, because the middle-game will soon start.]
17.... P-4e
