A "killer rook" in chess refers to using rooks actively to dominate the board, particularly by creating overwhelming pressure, controlling open files, and invading the 7th rank. This strategy involves mobilizing rooks from the back rank early, often lifting them to attack, and using them in tandem to create deadly threats against the opponent’s king.
