In shogi, Spearing the Sparrow (雀刺し or スズメ刺し suzumezashi) is one of the substrategies of the Fortress (Static Rook) class of openings. The strategy is basically an edge attack on the first file if played by Black or the ninth file if played by White. The player's rook characteristically moves to the respective edge file to support an attack there along with the right knight, the edge pawn, the right lance, and the bishop.
