Notes
Central House castle, like Duck castle, appears to be more solid than it may seem. The central front of the Pawns is protected by all the Silver and Gold Generals pushed diagonally to rank 8 (G-S-K-S-G). The movement of the Gold Generals along columns 3 and 7 makes Central House and Duck interchangeable. There are no particular advantages in switching from one castle to the other.
