The Rook

The rooks, which have the symbol of a castle, move horizontally and vertically as many squares as you choose. The only stipulation is that, like bishops, they cannot move over other pieces. It is a little difficult to get the rook into the game, but once they are out they are lethal!

Try it out! Go to setup mode and clear the board. Then select a rook from the selection menu and place it on the board. Get a feel for the way a rook moves.
