4th File Rook (Shikenbisha) Strategy

Yes, this opening definitely requires you to be precise with your defense, or I feel that you will lose too much momentum when your opponent attacks. I just tried playing a few games with static rook openings and it definitely feels easier to start attacking.

By the way which line do you prefer?

I haven't really memorized much of the Shikenbisha joseki. If my opponent is playing very passively, I'll go for an edge attack. If they are attacking aggressively with their rook, I'll try to move my rook to the same file as theirs to defend. Do you know of a good place to learn the various lines for Shikenbisha?

Aside from Hodetchis opening series on youtube nope
