Ranging Rook (振り飛車 furibisha), also known as "Swinging Rook", is one of two main opening strategies (the other being {{Static Rook}}). As part of a Ranging Rook strategy, the rook "swung", to the left side of the board and the king is typically castled to the right, in the space the rook has vacated. Ranging Rook strategies are a bit newer, and have not been studied as extensively as Static Rook strategies, making them a popular choice for players who wish to avoid theory. A game where both players use a Ranging Rook strategy is known as a "Double Ranging Rook" (相振り飛車 ai furibisha) game, and a game where one player uses a Static Rook strategy while the other plays a Ranging Rook strategy is known as an "Opposition" (対抗型 taikoukei) game, sometimes simply referred to as "Static vs Ranging Rook". Both kinds of games can contain Rapid Attacks (急戦 kyuusen) or become Slow Games (持久戦 jikyuusen, literally "war of attrition"). |

Each of the below openings is considered a Ranging Rook strategy, typically named after the file that the Rook attacks from. Use the links to find more detailed information on each one. |

Double Ranging Rook games were traditionally very uncommon, but are not unheard of in modern play. Outside of Double Central Rook, these games follow the same pattern as Double Static Rook games, with the kings typically castling to opposite sides and the rooks aiming at the kings' heads. Rather than listing out each type of Double Ranging Rook game, it is easier to categorize the sub strategies based on whether the bishop is <b>opened</b> or <b>closed</b>. |

As the main attack will be coming directly at the king's head, Double Ranging Rook Castles typically focus on defending attacks from the front. Castles considered advantageous for a Double Ranging Rook game are: |
|||
=== Peerless Golds === |
|||
{{Peerless Golds}} (金無双 kin musou) |
|||
=== Right Yagura === |
|||
{{Right Yagura}} (右矢倉 migi yagura) |
|||
=== Silver Crown === |
|||
{{Silver Crown}} (銀冠 gin kanmuri) |
|||
=== Ranging Rook Anaguma === |
|||
{{Anaguma}} (穴熊 anaguma, "badger"), previously translated to "Bear-in-the-hole" |
|||
= Opposition = |
|||
Opposition games often contain a sort of preliminary fight, where both sides attempt to break through the weaker side, promote their rooks, and then come at the king from the side. The games take shape depending on the strategy employed by the Ranging Rook player. |

== Central Rook == |
|||
== 4th-File == |
|||
== 3rd-File == |
|||
== Ishida == |
|||
== Opposing Rook == |
|||
== Castles == |

As it is often dangerous to expose your king, and both kings are likely to be castled on the same side of the board, the endgame almost always begins with an attack from the side. Thus, both players tend to build castles which can resist attacks from the side. This includes: |

=== Half Mino === |
|||
Half Mino (片美濃 kata mino), also called "Incomplete Mino" |
|||
=== Mino === |
|||
{{Mino}} (美濃 mino) |
|||
=== High Mino === |
|||
High Mino (高美濃 taka Mino) |
|||
=== Anaguma === |
|||
{{Anaguma}} (穴熊 anaguma, "badger"), previously translated to "Bear-in-the-hole" |
