The Twisting Rook (ひねり飛車 hineribisha) opening strategy is characterized by first playing a Static Rook opening, which then switches to a Ranging Rook strategy with the rook positioned in front of one's camp.
Twisting Rook is related to the Rook On Pawn opening (縦歩取り tate fudori), which often transitions into Twisting Rook.
One possible aim of Twisting Rook is to achieve an offensive structure similar to the attacking formation used in an Ishida opening.
