Left Bear-in-the-hole Central Rook

Left Bear-in-the-hole Central Rook (中飛車左穴熊 nakabisha hidari anaguma) is Central Rook opening (戦法) used in Double Ranging Rook games. It is well known by its use from Kenji Imazumi, who used it extensively in amateur tournaments, and later used it successfully in his Professional Admission Test to become a professional player. As countermeasures have been developed, variants where an Anaguma castle isn't used and a Left King Central Rook is used have appeared, for example using a combination of an Elmo castle and Central Rook. * v * t * e
