It is characterized in part by positioning Black's bishop on the 46 square and White's bishop on the 64 square allowing for a bishop exchange.

The strategy is named after Kenji Waki.


Development

An early ...P-74 (as opposed to an early ...G-52) is the most common move leading to the standard 24-Move Fortress Set (矢倉24手組) position, which is one of the major branching points of the set of Fortress substrategies.
