Side Pawn Capture, Pawn*23

Side Pawn Capture Pawn*23 (横歩取り☖2三歩 yokofudori ni-san fu) or Side Pawn Capture B*25 (横歩取り☖2五角 yokofudori ni-go kaku) is variation stemming from the Side Pawn Capture opening, in which White drops a pawn on the second file before trading off pawns on the eighth file leading Black to capture White's Side Pawn. After this, White initiates a rapid attack against Black's rook starting from a bishop drop on the second file.

This is an older variation of the Side Pawn opening that has become disfavored since White's rapid attack is considered ineffective.

Development

6...P*23. White drops their pawn in hand on the 23 square attacking Black's rook – a striking pawn tactic.

7. Rx34. Fleeing from attack, Black can now take White's side pawn.

Rapid Attack

White's primary response to Black's capturing of the side pawn has been to immediately trade bishops and attack Black's vulnerable rook.

gollark: But basically I'd want to be able to have it download dependencies on systems without the package manager installed if someone gets it off, say, pastebin.
gollark: I guess also that.
gollark: Well, ideally there'd be some way to download package manager deps without it being installed by whoever installs a thing.
gollark: ?
gollark: Also, backwards compatibility so users don't have to install it, somehow?
