Rook

Posted December 22nd, 2007 by Anonymous

A rook (♖ ♜,borrowed from Persian رخ rokh , Sanskrit roth , "chariot") is a piece in the strategy board game of chess. Each player starts with two rooks, one in each of the corners nearest their own side. In algebraic notation, white's rooks start on a1 and h1, while black's rooks start on a8 and h8.

The rook moves horizontally or vertically, forward or back, through any number of unoccupied squares, as shown in the diagram below. Like other pieces, it captures by occupying the square on which an enemy piece stands. The rook also participates, along with the king, in a special move called castling.
