RQ: Ketsui - What is "empty locking" and how is it done?

Post by heisenbergman »

I've heard the "technique" mentioned a few times so I decided to look up what exactly it is, but I couldn't find any descriptions detailing how it is done. Even via googling, most of the search results only bring up mentions of empty locking, but I haven't encountered any mention of how to execute it.

Can anyone help explain how exactly it's done, and how it helps with the game?

MMM explains it very well here.

It's been a while before I learned about this. Thanks.
