The Rook




The Rook moves in straight lines, like a  ( + ) plus sign, in one direction each  turn,

  • forward (up)
  • backwards (down)
  • to the Left  ( <–  ) or
  • to the Right  ( –> )

Rook can move as  far as  it likes and can stop on any square until it reaches the edge of the chess  board.

 

 

 

A Rook can only move across empty squares.
– If a  square already has a piece of the same color on it, a Rook cannot move to that square and cannot go past it.
