Another Double Static Rook game includes playing Right Fourth File Rook against a Fortress position.

If White is going to attempt Right Fourth File Rook, then after Black advances their central pawn on the fifth move, White should push their rook pawn to the central file forcing White to protect the second with their silver.^[1]

After this, White starts developing the Right Fourth File Rook structure by advancing their sixth file pawn (that is, their pawn that is the fourth file from the right side of their board). White aims to move their right silver to the central file through the sixth file and their rook to the sixth file while Black continues building their Fortress position.
