In shogi, Bishop Exchange (Japanese: 角換わり or 角換り, romanized: kakugawari) is a Double Static Rook opening in which the players exchange their bishops relatively early so as to have bishops in hand. Throughout the game, both players have a bishop drop threat, with which they can exploit any positional weakness that their opponent inadvertently creates.
