Feint Ranging Rook

In shogi, Feint Ranging Rook (陽動振り飛車 yōdōfuribisha) is a Ranging Rook opening in which the player first gives the impression that they are playing a Static Rook position, which subsequently switches to a Ranging Rook position.

This strategy is intended to surprise the opponent and hopefully catch the opponent in a suboptimal position.

The impression of a Static Rook position is created by pushing the player's rook pawn forward (on the second file is played by Black or the eighth file if played by White).
