The rook in
Chess moves horizontally or vertically, forward or back, until limited by an intervening piece.
- The rook captures an opponent's piece by occupying the cell where it stands.
- The rook participates in a special move called castling with the Chess/King.
Rooks represent
siege towers, and get their name from elephant-mounted versions once used in
India. They are usually made to look like little castles as a result.
