By the time I get to user over of them, the game is almost over. They're excellent end game supporters but as the name suggests, you can't hide them. Any strategy you plan with using the rooks isn't hard to foresee. Bishops are better.
Rooks are like Knights - we have two of them so we can sacrifice one and still do the do.
Unlike Bishops.
people, he is memeing
Anyone who says “Bishops are better than rooks” please play me in a game

So fellas, let's have a chat about rooks. I personally feel like they are a lot worse than every piece in the game. They are so sus and to be quite frank, weird. Why would I want a dumb corner piece that can move STRAIGHT when I can have an LGBTQIAPK+ supporting knight. It doesn't make much sense. I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter /srs
I agree. Also, 2 rooks can't stop 2 connected passed pawns passed the 6th rank?? WTF? I thought that rooks were worth 5 points and 2 pawns were worth 2????? Gary Chess should take a math class.
uhhh 2 rooks can?
Rooks can’t hop over pieces like knights and pawns

A lone rook can checkmate, knights and bishops cannot. They are very useful in the endgame--rook endings are the most common (and therefore the most important) type of ending. Properly placing the rooks behind possible pawn breaks leads to many breakthroughs. Rooks on open files are very powerful, especially as they threaten to reach the seventh rank.
Notice that in GM games, rooks are never traded for knights or bishops unless some significant advantage is gained by doing so.
