are you trying to get hints to beat me?, most effective when you put your castles in front of my pawns for dinner, beginning of the game will do.

End, they cover advancing pawns

The endgame is where every piece is used to their fullest potential since there is the most space to move.

Rooks aren't good during endgames; they may well be gone!
Try activating them in the middlegame. That must shake things up.

Rooks tend to be more active as the game goes on, but the real point is to use all your pieces judiciously. It's part of getting better at the game.

I thought rooks are very good at endgames, castle as soon as you can to activate the rook.

Castles are most effective when built atop a hill or behind a water-filled moat.
