In Chess How The Pieces Moves (PART-1) [ROOK]

How the Pieces Move

Chess is a very popular game, and most people can identify a chess set when they see one. But not everyone knows all of the rules of chess! Players new to chess may ask, “Can this piece jump?” or, “What does my horse do?” This section is intended to teach new players how each of the six chess pieces move.

•The Rook (♖ or ♜)

The rook is a long-range piece whose movement is very straightforward! It is a powerful piece that often becomes a force to be reckoned with in the endgame.

The rook may move forward, backward, left or right.

The rook may move as many squares in a straight line as you wish, so long as it is not blocked by another piece.

The rook may capture an enemy piece within its line of movement.

The rook may also participate in the special king move called “castling.”
