The Lonely Corners
"Quiet, isolated starting points that house sleeping dragons or rooks waiting to double up."
The four corner squares (a1, h1, a8, h8) housing starting rooks and serving as the focal landing zones for long-range fianchetto diagonal lasers.
Strategic Significance
The four corners of the board seem quiet at game start, housing sleeping rooks. However, long-range fianchettoed bishops aim directly into these corners, threatening to win trapped rooks.
