If a queen, a king, a knight, a bishop, and a pawn are people, what is a rook?
Sort:
Chinese Chess is closer to the original Indian Chess than Western Chess.
The "rook" in Chinese Chess is "車" a chariot.
The bishops are elephants.
Wait, knights are "people"? Incredible discovery.

I went with, “If.”
Well, if all the other five characters are "people", then rooks are probably "people" too.

How about the cannons and the "shi" (that piece next to the king to defend the king)?

Cannons are cannons, or artillery.
The "shi" moves one square diagonally, just like the Vizier in Indian Chess.

I mean I would think a king could travel faster than a siege tower, even if the king were old. I did see Howl’s Moving Castle, though, but I’m pretty sure that could move diagonally.
Frankly, I don’t know why a dude on a horse doesn’t move the fastest.
This game makes no sense.

It's not a siege tower, it's a chariot.
Western Chess change pieces into iconic representations of power. "The Tower of Power". Bishops, The All Powerful Church.

But the bishops should move like rooks, because they can make the sign of the cross. Diagonals are the devil’s work
Here's a good representation of infantry, cavalry, and artillery.
Could you please share the link ?

It's the Gladiator opening battle scene.
Here's a good representation of chariots, also from Gladiator, in a battle against "Hannibal" in the Coliseum.

Where do kings, queens, and their guards live?
In a ______!
Is a rook a person?
