Reclining Silver

In shogi, Reclining Silver (腰掛け銀 koshikakegin) is a strategy used in different Double Static Rook openings. It may also be played in Double Ranging Rook openings as well.

The Reclining Silver has the right silver positioned on central file above the central pawn and to the right of the silver is the pawn that was advancing in order to let the silver move through the line of pawns. The silver is said to recline on the seat of pawns.

In the board diagram, both Black and White have created Reclining Silver positions. Black has their silver on 5f (with pawns on 4f and 5g) while White has their silver on 5d (pawns on 5c, 6d).

Reclining Silver can often played as a component of several different Static Rook openings such as Double Wing or Bishop Exchange.
