In shogi, Waki System (脇システム waki shisutemu) is a symmetrical Double Yagura (Static Rook) opening.

It is characterized in part by positioning Black's bishop on the 4f square and White's bishop on the 6d square allowing for a bishop exchange.


Development

An early ...P-7d (as opposed to an early ...G-5b) is the most common move leading to the standard 24-Move Yagura Set (矢倉24手組) position, which is one of the major branching points of the set of Yagura substrategies.

13. S-3g. The Waki System is a silver-3g branch Yagura substrategy.

13. ...B-6d. The Waki System form starts with White moving their bishop to 6d pinning Black's silver to their rook.

14. B-4f. In response, Black opposes White's bishop by moving their own bishop to 4f.

This positioning allows the bishops to be traded off in order to place them in hand.
