Gangi is a castle name. It is like K6i, G7h, G5h, S6g, and S5g if you are Black.

Please refer to my First 30 move examples from the opening --- 005(Example 13 - 15)
of last December or Mr. Matt Casters's gsdb-homepage. Though these examples are
White's gangi, the sequence of castling after closing Bishop diagonal is applicable
to the case that Black build a Gangi castle too.
