becouse rocks can move in a straight line and bishops are resstricted to diaginals

 

 

Diagonals are also straight lines. They are not curves.

Why is everyone on chess.com so dumb? They're not lines or curves. They're line segments lol jk jk don't be offended.

 

Wait...rocks are living things???

it depends on the position but rook should be better if bishops arent used effectively

You can checkmate with rook but not bishop
And rooks can travel anywhere on the board, and the bishop can only go on 32 of the same colour

You can turn bishops 45 degrees and they move like rooks. 🤔
