In shogi, the Ureshino (嬉野流 ureshino-ryū) opening is a newer aggressive Static Rook opening characterized by moving the right silver to the sixth file and then pulling back the bishop to the silver's start position.[1]
It has an element of surprise as the move sequences are nonstandard and not found in professional play.
Ureshino can be played against both Static Rook and Ranging Rook opponents.
The opening is named after amateur player Hiroaki Ureshino (嬉野宏明) who invented it.
The opening aims for a very fast attack with the tradeoff being a less secure king.
