Notes
Big Four is the most solid among the castles. It offers excellent frontal and lateral resistance. However, it is not without weaknesses. This castle requires a significant number of moves to complete, and it must be built around the King after its final placement. All the generals are involved in defense, so they do not contribute to the offensive phase, which is left to the Rook, Bishop, and less maneuverable pieces. The concentration of generals allows the opponent to coordinate their offensive phase calmly and with more pieces.
