The ponpon in the name is an onomatopoeia (mimetic) sound effect of the Static Rook player's right knight jumping twice to start an early attack.

The position was originally used against a Fourth File Rook opponent. However, a more recent variation was developed to counter a Cheerful Central Rook opponent.

The strategy is not used by professional shogi players but can be found in amateur shogi.

gollark: Firstly, technological progress allows more efficient use of the existing limited resources.Secondly, technological progress allows more efficient extraction of more, as well as access to more in e.g. sspæceë.Thirdly, unless perfect recycling exists somehow, I don't think there's an actual alternative beyond slowly scaling down humanity and dying out or something. Or maybe regressing living standards.
gollark: I do find the "finite resources exist so arbitrary growth isn't possible" argument quite bee for various reasons however.
gollark: Sure, I guess. It isn't very actionable either way.
gollark: Although they contain apioformically hard microchips.
gollark: On the plus side, 3D printing and such make it increasingly practical to manufacture stuff with less infrastructure.
